   I wonder what the intent or purpose of the Facegook group is?  There doesn't   
   appear to be a group description; just a list of rules for the group.   
      
   If it's mainly a support group, I wonder if a Facebook group could be   
   configured to not allow posts and have a sticky post at the top to re-direct   
   people to go to another site or place for support questions - though I think   
   it's more of a general Synchronet group, not mainly for support.   
      
   Maybe one of the rules for that group should be to go to the wiki, Dove-Net,   
   or the other official areas for support rather than posting support questions   
   in the Facebook group or sending you direct messages.  Then if anyone does   
   post support questions in that group, they could be kindly (and sternly?)   
   reminded about the rule and the official avenues of support.  Repeat offenders   
   could have support questions removed, after being reminded of the official   
   support avenues.
