I mean, lets be honest—an international pandemic that is shutting down parks all over the world isn’t really worth talking about. What about those Pantheon burgers?!

They do look like some bomb-ass burgers though... if that picture is accurate...
 
They're now posting "get to know your admins". I'll refrain from sharing the first one because it is an infant.

Personal choices; but I personally have 0 interest in posting anything about my children online.
 
What's BGW's policy on photography in the bathrooms? The second "get to know your admins" features a bathroom selfie.

Two thoughts,
1. I don't think we should be giving them more attention/a platform by sharing it here, even if we're mocking it.
2. This could easily slide into personal bullying. These aren't avatars not directly associated with a person, these are personal profiles attached to their face and name. Do we really want to be mocking and picking on people on this forum? We don't allow it within the forum with impersonal avatars, why allow this?

As dumb as I think this is, I think we should just ignore them unless it needs to be addressed (and then addressing it impersonally, with names and faces removed).
 
Would an appropriate boundary be based on whether the posts on the other platform are public or private?

I agree which is why I'm not posting screen grabs of the profiles themselves. But you do have a point about not giving them a platform/advertising.
 
I agree that we should keep the vitriol in check. That said, as someone who makes a point not to join and browse random FB groups, I support sharing what other parts of the community are talking about to this thread (and we can't do that without giving credit).

It is a closed group, so I would consider that private.

I would consider some “why is a group private” with that. They seemingly want to be “mini-celebs” with no differing opinions and seem like they are all mighty (the sense I get from what’s being shared/blocked). If we were sharing something from a group that’s private like “2020 BGW TM intro group” and they were sharing things like food prices or park updates, I think that’s a no-no. Someone irresponsibly sharing things they shouldn’t be and admins that want to be “mini-celebs”? Fair game IMO.
