[Hettie's Crew]

North Korea, China, Belarus, they’re nothing compared with Hymer Owners Group Facebook group.
I joined yesterday, chucked out today. Why you may ask, I questioned the advice being given by one of the moderators (P), I won’t give the name.
I’d commented on a few threads, received several likes, including from (P), then today (P) put on a post explaining how he had greased his ALKO chassis in accordance with the advice he’d previously given. Several members challenged this advice, with what I believe to be the correct method, but were ‘corrected’ by (P).
I took up the post and gave all the information I’d gleaned from here only to be told again.
I gave a diagram, the link to Fraser engineering and a full explanation as to why it wasn’t a good idea to pump in 1 to 2 full tubes of grease, explaining all about the bronze bushes/seals etc and said I would leave it there and make no further comment, adding we all have to chose what advice to take or leave.
(P) came back with a curt response and accused me of being unwilling to help people, like he does and didn’t like what I’d said.
Within minutes I was unable to access the thread to respond, apparently blocked, I then noticed I was unable to see any posts or comments by (P), even where he’d liked other posts, others names come up but his said ‘data not available’
Feeling put out and noticing I could still post I decided to suggest a 9th rule be added to their list.
Rule 9. Under no circumstances suggest the advice being by (P) could be wrong, or words to that effect, I can’t see it anymore. All very polite though.
Within minutes that post got four likes and two supporting comments from members. Minutes after that their comments were removed from the post and shortly after I lost access.
It really does bring home just what a fantastic forum this is and how well it’s moderated, allowing open discussion without being shut down. Unless our rules are broken.
Its a real shame the HOG FB group is being run by a dictatorship because in my short time there I got the impression there are some very nice people.

Don't get on it , no reason, but is this bloke a hymer salesman.

 

[Hettie's Crew]

When the four likes and the two agreeing comments came to my last post I felt like I should be reporting the incident to someone, like a modern slavery investigation or something. At least passing them some secret instructions on how to get out to sanctuary (MF).

I’d heard that somewhere else, very worrying.

Then I rode solo (No club or chapter) for the last 10 yrs, much better

Just as well that you never mentioned that Hymers are as susceptible to damp as any other Mh.
You may have found yourself being jabbed by the poisoned point of an umbrella or by some Novichok nerve agent. If I were you I'd change my name ..... and address
PS that picture of me in the avitar isn't really me

I did have a couple of years in the riders club, only cos I needed advice when I had the HD Shovelhead, it was always breaking down!!
I’ve still got my “CUT” but it’s not what you think, it’s full of patches from my trip round the mid west including Sturgis

Those who know Mousy know that she is the epitome of charm, sweetness and one of the most charismatic Funsters you could find.

You will therefore be surprised to know that she was chucked out of the FB HOG too!

She somehow got back in and we ended up even going on a HOG meet a few weeks ago! (I’m still not quite sure how it happened ....)

We were all pitched up according to who had booked a pitch first, and unbeknownst to P, the woman he had thrown off the FB page was pitched right next to him!

I have to say, despite our misgivings, everyone was very friendly, even P, and we had a lovely weekend.

I don’t think we’ll be going on any more though, as although they all have vans that are self contained, all their meets are on very expensive sites, with all singing all dancing pitches, which we don’t need!

Having just returned from Jaws meet where we spent 5 days on a rugby pitch - no lekky but loads of Fun, I know which club and forum I prefer!

[CazPaul]

Woe betide if you want to go on a meet and dont have a Hymer anymore. I said that didnt seem fair but my namesake was having none it. If you dont have a Hymer anymore you can still be a member but you definitely cannot ever go on any rallies or meets.
i said that wasnt fair"You can still help people and give advice but you cant join in anything else" He said "Yes, that's correct"

 

[Grummyb]

You'd really get on her goat if you did that

I'm sure she will start bleating if I've upset her

I got something similar when I tried to join the Pilote FB group I made a mistake when uploading photo and the next thing I was shut down accused of pretending to be someone else needlessly I have not been back since.

Oh Si - if you only knew how thick I am. I supported a deaf student on a 3 year philosophy Degree - for how much I understood, it might just as well have been a Degree in Mandarin Chinese!

I no longer have my goat......but I did years ago.
