Not like telling people to stop has ever made them stop either. Its a mind set that you cant just flip a switch, they will just make a new group and i hope CFNIS got screen shots of the entire groups members list.

I suspect that merely being a member won't be enough to see anything happen. People join FB groups, then never participate or even see the posts. I'm guessing the active participants will be the ones to see remedial measure or charges, and the rest might get a "you should know better".

Jesus put the pitchforks away. There was only 1 or 2 comments that showed up publicly as screenshots that are concerning (comments or nudity in uniform), the other screenshots were just posts from 10 years ago from a movie 10 years before that. I'm certain if there was anything more concerning it would have been made publicly available by now, so this is nothing a few RMs and education can't sort out.

With a CDS who was the original CPCC leader, I'm guessing that 'pitchforks' might be the least of their worries...
