ONLINE ABUSE IN THE PEARL JAM AUSTRALIA/NZ FACEBOOK GROUP.

PROCHOICE!!!PROCHOICE!!! Coolangatta Posts: 3
Guys im reaching out after a particularly hateful thread in the group. Admin is doing nothing and people (all WOMEN)  have actually received death threats. Is there a way someone can intervene and contact admin urgently. The spread of misinformation is disgusting and personal attacks. Eddie would be so ashamed of these 'fans.' Especially after his recent message on the last night about online bullying. Admin is responsible this more than the actual trolls. It's out of control. The post is by MICHAEL MURRAY and refuses to take it down.

    Can you flag and report to FB? Michael Murray sounds like a grade A fuckwit. Men, do better. All of you.

    It's still there. Maybe he's genuinely worried about real artists and band IP, but sending threatening DM and comments is not nice. Even after an explanation was given.It starts as if hes calling out what he claims is a fake merch flipper with the 'someone selling photocopy' setlist. He's put a lot of false accusations to name and shame.

    The thing is the girl got the stage list handed to her. People said she stole it then trashed her in the comments and replies for photocopying them just for the group of people she waited in line with for 3 days on tour. They paid $5 for postage. The "$50' he claims was not meant to be listed, it was to be  FRAMED for the same people who requested it a larger wall quality copy. She forgot the names of who they were and the 'high demand' was purely an inside joke.

    I mean it's basically $50 for a frame in Australia. Also the girl took it down as soon as she realised how it was misinterpreted and Michael continued to screenshot, spread misinformation and harass anyone who defended her. Anyone who knew her and said this was not the case. But the 250+++ inbox comments and direct DM threats claimed she was scum of the earth. It was proper mob mentality. 
    The girl suffers from mental health issues and this is not ok. Nor is she still as long as the post is still up. It has been reported to FB and they said its not threatening. Admin is the only power here.....Meta rules :anguished:

    Facebook groups...
    Just stay away... they are never what they're supposed to be. And they aren't associated with 10C officially so no real moderation. 
    Just leave and block ..... there are always scumbags

    I was on the FB group soon after the tour was announced, I left within a week. It was giving me bad anxiety and the people on there weren’t worth the time and effort.

    Drop the this. Just Facebook. It’s cleaner.
