If you look back across the history of this thread you'll see that we've had ongoing issues with people coloring outside the lines since pretty much day one. The purposes for which I wanted to use Facebook Groups (driving traffic to SMNetwork and maintaining the brand) are better suited to a page. The purposes for which the members wanted to use our Facebook Group (self promotion and discussion) are better suited to all the other stage management related Facebook groups that don't have a beastly forum like this to back them up.
I'd been planning to shut it down when I had time to properly convert it to a page, but that timeframe got shortened by Fernandez. His behavior was the last straw since it came in during my first vacation in 2 years and pretty much ruined it.
The Facebook Group has taken considerably more time to maintain than the entirety the forums. Every day I would turn down 3-4 requests to join from young SMs who had not read the rules. The spam onslaught - mostly held off by server-side controls here on the forums - is a veritable flood over there.
If Fernandez's behavior is as consistently bad as many of you have stated both here and in my PM box, I would suggest that you guys step up and say something about it. Someone with that lack of self control should not be working in positions where he has to oversee the safety of cast & crew.
