    Wanna help out with the running of TW (as it's still called at the time of writing this post)?

    I need to take on some keen and enthusiastic people to help us run TW and it's Facebook Group which has mushroomed in recent weeks. If you're interested, obviously you will need to be a Facebook member.

    If you'd like to lend a hand, please let me know.

    Thanks and hugs,

    Katie x

    All will be revealed very soon. We were hoping to do the name change at the end of last week but Eric wasn't about so we'll try again in a few days.

    Hugs, Katie x
    PS Don't all rush at once!

    Hi Katie,

    What would helping entail?

    I am a member of FaceBook, but only for a bit over a week and I'm still figuring out my own FB pages. Don't know much more than how to send a message or "friend" someone. Worry I might be more of a liability than a help til I get more familiar with the site.

    Another question, what are the differences between an administrator/admin and a moderator/mod, if any?

    Sorry, I should have given more info. Our Facebook group has really taken off. At the time of writing we have amassed 3350 members in a fairly short time.

    However, there is an element that is not there in the Trannyweb spirit. Of course, I'm talking about men who just want tranny sex. So, what we need is a few girls who can check on the group now and again, look at the photos that have been uploaded and delete any which have any pornographic content. Many men seem to love uploading pictures of their genitals and that's the kind of thing that could get our group closed down.

    Other things you could do are, look for wall posts and new links which are obviously just ads for sex sites, Viagra and that kind of thing and delete those too.

    And it would be great if our girls could maybe post a new thread on a TG related subject of their choice in the discussions area now and then (and in our own forums here).

    That's it really. So, basically I need help keeping it clean and decent and help with preventing it from becoming a cattle market.

    And the difference between Admin and Moderator is simply, that I got it wrong. I thought that Facebook "Admins" was what we call "Moderators" at TW but I've just checked and it seems that at Facebook they're called, "Officers". So girls, if you'd like to be an Officer, please let me know.

    Hugs, Katie x

    Hi Katie,

    Thanks for the info. I think I could do a reasonably good job of dispatching the perv photos, sex ads and obscene wall posts. If you think I'd be useful, let me know what I need to do.

    Well the first thing to do is go along to our Facebook group here...

    http://www.facebook.com/g[...]9097052

    ...and join it yourself. Then I'll be able to add you as an officer and you'll suddenly have the power to delete stuff. Please don't go mad though. There'as actually nothing that needs seeing to at the moment because I've just visited myself.

    Remember to be nice to the users at all times (I'm sure you will be). I think a good parallel would be a reception person at a very up-market hotel.

    Anyone else wanna be an 'Officer'?

    Hugs,

    Katie x

    Hi Katie,

    I'm shocked, shocked that you'd think I wasn't already a member of the TW FB Group! (Just about the first thing I did when I got on FB was to join the TW Group.)

    Don't worry, I'm a very (very) liberal girl and will always err on the side of freedom of speech if the choice is at all fuzzy.

    There, done! You are both now Administrators for the Facebook Trannyweb Group. Sorry, it was Administrator after all. Rememeber, this is a nice person position. I'm sure you won't find that difficult as you are both very nice already.

    Happy Administrating!

    You'll be most welcome Anna-Marie. Are you a member of the group yet? I couldn't find your name in the list.

    Anyone else wanna help out here?

    Hugs,

    Katie x

    I have a problem with joining the facebook group.

    Although I dont know what the "TW" group looks like or the nature of the content, all my real life friends know me as me. I have joined the equality for all and womens rights groups but I fear joining the TW group with lots of males posting inappropriate images and content will be harmful to my character.

    Im proud to be who i am and I will always discuss my persona with my friends and people who treat me with respect. However, on the whole, I believe, that the way some people conduct themselves, especially the perverts who disrespect us as human beings, is not indicative to how i wish my friends to perceive me, and I dont wish to be affiliated with it.

    This is how I feel. I'm not putting up barriers for the sake of it, maybe someone could sugest a solution?

    Hi Penny,

    That's odd. Someone using your picture and name has posted replies to posts currently on the FB TW Group wall. Oh wait, they were from Penny Wenny, not Penny Moo. Is your old identity doing a bit of time travel posting?

    oh right, i must have joined then lol. but my previous post is still relevant.

    I'm not saying there is anything wrong with the freedom people express. I just want my friends to see me as me and not to be represented by others in my TG peer group. If that makes sense?

    Just that I see a lot of TG women posting stuff online they wouldnt show to their mother or bestfriend. which is what i do!

    Hi Penny,

    You're right. The FB TW Group site is a very different animal from TGS, that's for sure.

    It does seem to be more sexual in nature than we are here. But I think that's because TA's post one time & than don't come back.
    It's the things they write on the wall that make it look that way. I think it's having the word TRANNY in the name that's causing that.
    The same way it attracts TA's here.

    Maybe the FB Group name should be high on the list to change from TW?
