Is anyone here an admin on British Steelies FB group? or the UK only pedal steel for sale group?
I think I've been blocked a while back and I don't know why. I'm still a new player (a year and a half in) and could really do with the advice and info sharing that goes along with those groups.
I posted to British Steelies a couple times, only once showing my new pedal steel, and another time asking for advice on a specific mechanical issue. I'm a young woman and the only thing I can comprehend is someone thought I was a scammer as my profile doesn't fit your average player - even though I never tried to sell anything, or even buy anything. If someone does admin for these groups can you drop me a message and I'll share my info if you can look into why I've been blocked? If it is because I look like a scammer I can share my band and writing credits info, and if it's just because I'm annoying then hell, 2 run-of-the-mill posts doesn't seem a fair reason to have blocked me...

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong!
Admin at the FB group are Basil Henriques and Jim Pritchard I believe, who felt the need some time back to set up a face book 'British Steelies' group.
Whilst both gents are well known to us, it has no association to the 'British Steelies Society' or the 'BSS forum', founded by our long serving friend Mr Roy Heap!
'British Steelies FB group' was perhaps an ambiguous title to give it ' reasons best known to them that set it up.'
Being a Private Group however makes it open to 'Blocking' for whatever reason.

Hi EgmaFromel,
Hopefully I may be able to help you.
Both of these Groups were set up long before I joined them.
I was invited to become an Admin & to help the original Admins, (due to their personal/health reasons), to update the Group rules and security features.
The rules etc. are now very strict for all members, mainly to deter Scammers & Spammers, and also using 'AI admin assist' security features.
Please contact me on Facebook messenger, so that I may check out the reason(s), to try and resolve your problem.
Both facebook groups have no association to the excellent 'British Steelies Society' or the 'BSS forum', which, as you can see here, I'm also a member.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for getting back to me - Sorry I have only just seen your reply. I can't see your profile on Facebook, though I believe I tried to add you when I originally saw the reply from Admin. I've sent you a private message with my details, if that's okay. Thank you.
