pologies to those readers who do not
engage in online Social Media, but this
editorial is a request for assistance from
those who do. Our Facebook page has recently
been hacked. Not just a little, but a serious end-
of-days terminally destructive Death-Star-sized
hacking, somewhat redolent of ‘Chopper’ Harris
in his heyday. Devious cyber-bots seized control
of the
SAM
page and proceeded to lock out all
the administrators and flood the page with total
dreck – videos of cute dogs in hats, gentlemen
riding mountain bikes into ravines, horrible
people playing hilarious pranks on their
partners, and other such drivel. Now, I know
modellers are a diverse bunch, but I have yet to
meet any who are prepared to spend time
answering twenty questions to find out which
character from a television soap opera they most
resemble…
So we contacted Facebook and asked them to
sort out the issue, only to be told that the only
thing we could do was to contact the page’s
administrators and ask to be allowed back in.
‘But they are the people who have hacked the
page and locked us out’ we explained, citing the
obvious difference between our own content
and the rubbish now being posted, not to
mention the outraged responses of regular
SAM
followers confronted with the endless nonsense
now being streamed under our banner. But
Facebook remained obdurate and unhelpful (is
Nick Clegg still in charge?). ‘Only the page’s
administrators can make changes to the page’s
administrative executive,’ we were told.
So we have had no option but to abandon the
old
SAM
Facebook page and start a new one. To
boost this new page and reconnect with all our
friends and supporters we need you, our readers
to join us there and share your work, so we are
inviting everyone to post images of their models
on our new page -
SAM – Scale Aircraft Modelling
- to share it with their friends, and to interact
with us as much as possible. The ten models
receiving the most ‘shares’ and ‘likes’ on our page
will be published in the magazine, and hopefully
we can build support back up to the astonishing
level that it was before the aliens seized control.
So, thanks in advance for your help and
assistance. The new page, remember, is
‘SAM –
Scale Aircraft Modelling’,
as opposed to the
former page, which was simply
‘Scale Aircraft
Modelling’.
The old page is still there, so unless
you want to disengage your brain entirely then
make sure you find the authentic new one.
We’ll look forward to seeing you all there…
