My POV on this. Since many members want to know what happen at the back all this time.
We had some disagreement in what I can only describe as an overly aggressive stance towards our FB members. The original CM was deem "too soft" for them. So there were cases whr members are kicked out and dissatisfaction grew. We stood by their side then n defended their action trusting their judgement.
Members are from time to time still continually remove by them but no ban. So one day I decided to approved one of them back. And the rest is what you see now. I was said to undermine their action. Other CM has little to no say on the administration of FB. When we try to do something, they would say things like ppl don't know us or we don't understand FB ppl. So we stayed out and let things be.
The thing is with 1000+ members in FB, all their action in FB reflect the club as a whole. The club's reputation. The rest of the CM grew concerned. PREVOC as a whole is being mock and treated with hostility due to this actions. Members are afraid to speak out for fear of being removed.
Sure the other CM member may not seem to be overly active being an admin in FB. Not that they have much freedom to do so. But it doesn't make them any less of a CM then they are.
We were doing fine until they are in charged. Sure they have contributed in getting us recognize in press lately and overall organization of our pictures and material in fb. But we also gain a bad reputation since then. Will we be as big without them? Maybe, maybe not. There is no way to know for sure....
What I do know it is a sad day.
My 2 cents.
I think at this point it is important to draw the line between PREVOC and the fb page. Email notifications to all registered PREVOC members to inform them that PREVOC is no longer associated with the fb page ran by those two jokers.
The way I see it, PREVOC is a registered club with the capacity to represent the interest of Preve owners, be it with Proton or with any other organization that could benefit the PREVOC members. The FB page, on the other hand, is just that, a FB page and nothing more. Make that very clear in any circulations to members or other associated entities (Proton, for example).
Take this opportunity to fully develop the PREVOC website and make it the base of the community. This way you have more control on the content being shared and discussed, and definitely eliminates the possibility of any so-called "hostile takeover".
Truly, this is very damaging to the PREVOC's reputation and considering Shariman's connections to personnel inside Proton, you may be facing an uphill battle. But something has to be done.
