Drama starter, IMO - Needs to be deleted from group.?
I started a facebook group for moms. I figured we dont need rules, Since we are all adults. THe only "rule" is we dont accept new members and we dont want drama.(the group as a whole decdied that since we have address and numbers shared in the group) The admins in charge, we have done are best to try and keep no drama. We have one member that has been the root to any drama starting we have had. This member is also well liked by several members. With all the members that have came to us and let us know what other members thing some like her,dont like her or really dont care. Her posts end up being gone before all the members see her "true colors". But alot of members are aware of her rudeness. People can disagree, But she takes it to a personal strong dislike level. She has bashed members on her personal page, Which thats her personal page Shes free to do what she wants there. But she has brought her personal attacks into the group. I personally dont like her but I have been fair and until she has a reason to be removed, Which I think the time has come. Our group has been wonderful - the few times there has abeen drama she has been the cause/root of it. Before when she did talk to me, She had such a strong hate towards other moms she has never even met - IMO she tried threatened and scareing me into deleting a member she didnt like. I wouldnt delete the other member, so Im sure she got mad. She told me so many other people will leave the group and start their own group unless I deleted the other member. I wouldnt delete the other member, she did nothing wrong. No one in the group came to me saying they didnt like the other member except this "drama starter member". Where now I have had ALOT of members come to me saying "drama starter member" is too rude and needs to go. Where just cuz members dont like one another we cant do anything but she has been the center of the drama so I think its time for her to go. ALso Im sure some of the members that "follow" her may be mad so I need to prepare for their questions/remarks about why shes gone. Some may not have noticed or seen the posts but I can explain that if they would like.

Although is is Yahoo Answers Groups, not facebook, of any group type site there's always a drama queen. Almost all groups needs a set of clear rules, and enforced rules. Many complain about such rules, but rules are a fact of life and most members appreciate them to prevent such things. In my experience, we don't allow bashing of others or direct attacks on other members. They get moderated, get 3 warnings sent to them off the group, and on the 3rd warning they're out. Almost all these types of people claim so many members will follow them. So what, any of the current members probably belong to more than one group anyway. You also don't owe any member an explanation for who you remove. Once you start giving explanations, members think they're part of that decision process and no matter what you say, that person is going to make up a story just the same because that's what drama people do.
Do what you feel is the right thing to do, and don't give it another thought. If they start bashing on their own page, don't let it get to you. They'll eventually find another group to gain the attention they're seeking.
