If the AYB group you belong to suddenly disappears, it is because you have been blocked.
Our volunteer administrators block around 20 members a week from the AYB network on Facebook.
It used to be many more, but Facebook have given us automated tools to keep out spam like Crocodile videos from Thailand.
Once blocked, that individual is permanently prevented from even SEEING our groups
Some are blocked for posting inappropriate items.. Cars, motorbikes, furniture, clothes.
It is very important to the millions of visitors to our network that when they get a post sent to their personal Facebook page because they are a member of the “Motor Yachts under 30 feet For Sale” that it is a Motor yacht – under 30 feet and it is For Sale (not Wanted, or ISO, or Seeking).
Members have a right to know that any post in the group is by a member of AYB – It is the first rule. Some are Traders, others Yacht brokers.
We demand higher standards from AYB Yacht Brokers and request that they supply evidence of that they are yacht brokers people can trust.
Some Yacht Brokers are in violation of the first group rule., even after we have drawn it to their attention. We have thought long and hard what the reason might be and came up with several possibilities such as – They are lazy, or careless, or stupid, or dishonest.
We are open to hear other possible “excuses”.
None of those attributes belong to a yacht broker that AYB wants as a member nor that most people want in a yacht broker they deal with.
If you are an honest broker, take care to join AYB before you post on our network, it is the first rule of every one of the 40 groups.
If you don’t comply you may well be the star at the top of this list
