 Somehow, I was made an Administrator (no one asked) early on and recently the page got sort of abandoned. I wasn't watching it due to the constant spamming and unrelated videos. Recently another member contacted me about him being an admin. and I was able to add him. He since found another admin and then took the page hidden and private.
 Since he did that, the page appears usable. If not scammer free, it's at least better. Anyway, I've been removing posts and blocking the spammers. I blocked at least 15 that posted unrelated video or memes the last few days.
  I just wondered if anyone noticed or uses it.

I'm a member of that group, butI had unfollowed it because of all the spam. I only check it out once in a while.

Thanks for making those changes. I'll start checking it out more often now.

 I've given 15 or so the boot this week. Member numbers are down, views are up.

 I've probably removed 50 videos and violators by now.
   The lady sticking the part eaten banana on the back of the police van is a rogue poster's favorite. I'd bet I've removed it a dozen times along with removing the posters.  Maybe I should watch it to the end because I still don't get the point.

I'm a member of the Vintage Motorcycle, Parts & Memorabilia group, but that appears to be different from your group. I don't see a group with the name in your post title.

 Apparently, my co-conspirators made it private and invisible. At 10,000 members I think. If you are not a member you can't get to it.
 Now, how do I get paid? L0L.

  If anyone wants to join send me a facebook link and I'll try to send a membership link. I'm booting around 5 members every day for posting non-bike related junk.
