FB group down OR did I get banned for some reason?

I am not able to access the Flex Radio Enthusiast Facebook group this evening . I get a message saying essentially that the reason might be because the owner only shares it with a small group , or that it is otherwise unavailable . I did post a meme there today , hopefully the humor was not deemed offensive to Flex . Hopefully after purchasing A flex 3000, 6300, 6600 and a 8400 over the years , someone at Flex Radio Enthusiast would contact me and express displeasure rather than a summarily ban .

    it could be Facebook’s automated system. I’ve posted content in Facebook groups that the “system” deemed inappropriate and I was locked out of that group.

    I’m sure Michael will see this post and let you know what happened.

    Hi Andy

    with almost 12,000 members we have a bunch of AI automation on the group to keep things under control and sometimes there is collateral damage. If we don't do it, there is a lot of rage baiting, which we don't want.

    If you posted something that is not FlexRadio related or looks like an add, the post might be deleted and you may also get banned. It looked like you were selling a book that had nothing to do with FlexRadio.

    You should be able to rejoin now. 73
