ktgrok Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I run a middle school homeschool group. We do social stuff, field trips, parties, etc. We meet thursdays from 1-3pm. We also have a co-op starting on Friday afternoons. Well, today, someone that has only been to a few events ever, posted on our group facebook page that she is starting a co-op, and it will meet Thursdays from 1-3pm. The same time our group meets...the one she is advertising on. That's kind of rude, right? I wouldn't mind her advertising a group that didn't conflict with ours, but she is purposely trying to steer people from this group to another one that meets at the same time. can't do both. Rude?

Mrs Mungo Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Yes, it is rude. I would delete the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardening momma Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Yes, rude. Are you an administrator on the fb page (don't know what that would be called). Can you delete her post and pm her to explain why she can't advertise a competing group? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Yes, it is rude. I would delete the post. I guess I'm being way too nice, lol. I just commented "oh, so you are no longer going to be part of this group, given that we meet at the same time?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just commented "oh, so you are no longer going to be part of this group, given that we meet at the same time?" LOL, I must have a skewed perspective, but I think just deleting the comment is nicer than that! :lol: I would also send a pm that said, "please don't advertise alternative groups on our group's page. Thanks-admin." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Ok, she just responded that she is hoping to move the co-op to wednesdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest submarines Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Ok, she just responded that she is hoping to move the co-op to wednesdays. Awesome! Could've been simple misunderstanding. Maybe she isn't a very organised / meticulous person and made a mistake. I can totally see myself spacing out like this. I'm glad you started the communication before any drastic action.
