What's happened to shiteventers?

[muddybay]

I saw all group activity has been paused till May

Don't know - I did think there was a shortage of people falling off on my FB page this morning, though ... ?

That's what I thought I clicked on the group and it said paused until May! I hope it isn't

I did see a message about them not being associated with the similarly named dressage group, and they were getting complaints about the dressage group that they have nothing to do with. Said they had better things to do. So, may be something to do with that?

that post was getting a bit unpleasant.

I think I saw it before there were many replies.

Anyway, it made me go find the alternate group and ask to join! I did find the shiteventers had changed from fun to trying too hard, so won't miss it, or the swearing, too much. Hope one of the two dressage ones are fun without the drawbacks.

I missed something. What's going on? A dressage group?

I feel like I missed something as well

Steph Croxford set up a group called Shitedressageunited

I think that's the one the SEU admin were complaining about.

it's a small group at the mo in comparison and is mainly people sharing funny stories of horses buckarooing up centre lines or ducking out of the arena etc. I'm not sure what the complaints were about.

(there are 2 other groups with similar names but I'm only in the one above so dunno if the others were involved.)

 

[Caol Ila]

Why were they complaining?

 

[milliepops]

because the name was similar. at least that's what a lot of the replies were about, and then it all went very negative.

Why would that lead them to pause the group was it getting aggressive?

 

[Ranyhyn]

I hope they dont do the same to shiteparents. Thems my people.

Yep, Steph Croxford set up a dressage one with a similar name and the eventers group went mad. There was a lot of ridiculous behaviour and bad language being thrown around.
Apparently people didn’t like the similar name being used. Feel like they need to get a life really... there’s far bigger things going on in the world.

 

[milliepops]

quite! kinda weird reaction.

 

[Ranyhyn]

Quite ridiculous to be honest. Goes against the whole feel of the group I'd say.

 

[Somewhat Off The Way]

I didn't even know about the dressage one til this all kicked off. Now I've joined it

People really do need to get a life. So what if another group has a similar name?

 

[Ranyhyn]

Ive just found this on the shiteparents group

"Sorry guys I need a break. Too many personal attacks aimed at me in the last 2 weeks. We raised 12k for the aussie floods and all I got was abuse. I need a break. "

 

[poiuytrewq]

How ridiculous!

 

[saddlesore]

I feel someone has gone in a major huff.....

 

[Flowerofthefen]

I was on shite eventers but it seemed to be getting silly with the videos that were posted. I joined the dressage one and it's much more serene!!

 

[Caol Ila]

I have also just joined the dressage one. It seems really nice and sane right now. Hopefully it will stay that way.

I left the dressage one because it seemed to be made up of really good riders who had bought horses with problems for next to nothing and trained to PSG in next to no time. Made me feel completely inadequate!?

I posted my famous dressage score on there so they weren't all good dressage people ?

 

[shortstuff99]

From what I saw members where getting funny about the possibility that money would be made from the dressage group, and that it was basically a copyright infringement even though I don't believe the eventing one is copyrighted.

 

[spacefaer]

The main admin on the SEU page has had a lot of personal abuse over the last couple of weeks. The storm in a teacup over the dressage group was the last straw.

Because people thought the dressage group was a spin off from SEU and SEU, she was getting complaints from the dressage group addressed to her, which is what prompted the post about it.

I am an ex admin of SEU and believe me, It's not a walk in the park to moderate. There are 1000s of posts submitted each day, mostly unfunny or repeats . Yup get loads of private messages asking why a post hasn't be approved within 10 mins of submitting, and the page is constantly monitored for rule breaches.

It's not an easy thing to do. I stepped back because I was spending a significant part my day on the group, which I couldn't spare.

 

[CanteringCarrot]

I'm in the dressage group, and it's not bad. I thought it would be normal to have shite dressage, shite show jumping, etc. Didn't think it such an issue and I'm not sure why one would complain about one page to the admins of another page. ?‍

 

[PapaverFollis]

There have been an awful lot of random banning from the new Facebook language infringement algorithms on horse related groups. SEU may have fallen foul of that as a group rather than it being the admin deciding to suspend it? Maybe.
