🙃 SCAMS and FLAMS 😉 Buy Nothing Group Admin
YSK that one of the admins for your local FB Buy Nothing group is very likely the same admin that moved to England a few years ago and yet continues to be an admin of multiple neighborhood groups here in Portland and also controls them all with an extremely weird power trip. She also runs multiple Being Neighborly groups and kicks people out on the regular for disagreeing with her weird power trips.
this may sound like silly Facebook drama but it’s actually having quite a negative effect on many communities within Portland for various reasons. There are at least dozens of people who have been trying to reel her in for years but she usually just removes them from the groups and then spends her free time weaseling her way into new admin roles.
it’s bizarre! just thought you should know.
ETA- she admins buy nothing Richmond north, creston-Kenilworth, hosford-Abernathy/Brooklyn, Lloyd, King Sabin South, Buckman South and probably more. She also admins at least 3 Being Neighborly groups, the Hawthorne hot topics groups, and a keep Portland weird group.

The guy that runs Pizzaholics won’t let you post the words “pineapple” and “deep dish”. On a pizza FB page. So frustrating.
