I've just asked W&A if they can start a Closed Facebook Group for W&A Members Only. They've responded favourably, but I thought I'd start a petition here anyway!
A Closed Facebook Group, for those who don't know, will be an invitation only group where only group members can see each others posts and which makes it ideal for us to share our work (and as much of it as we like) securely, ask questions and share stuff.
If you'd also like a W&A Closed Facebook Group please write, "Yes Please!" in a comment below.
Just to answer a few of the concerns raised above:
I emailed W&A about this before I posted this question up. They also thought it was a great idea. I was just thought it would be fun to start a "petition" (sort of) here.
It would be set up and administered by W&A Staff ONLY - in the same way this site is.
People would only be allowed to invite others into the group who would then need to be approved by W&A Staff.
Anyone found to be abusing the group in any way, shape of form could be ejected and permanently excluded immediately - again by W&A Staff only.
I think it could happily run alongside this site as I'm sure a number of people simply don't "do" Facebook and just don't like the idea, so the Community Section of this site would always be needed.
I hope this helps.
Great idea :) Yes please!
Yes please! Think its a great idea
