| Dec 17, 2012 at 20:46 | comment | added | Adi | @Fuhrmanator, there are 3 members now in the group (I can only see the number) one of them is the fake/idle admin account. I guess the only solution is in the hands of Facebook's support. | |
| Dec 17, 2012 at 20:05 | comment | added | Fuhrmanator | Another route: ask one of the other members to become the admin and add you to the group so you can delete those posts. If the current admin is defunct, anyone can assume that role. "If you're a member of a group with no admins, you can become an admin by clicking Make Me Admin under Members in the right column." from facebook.com/help/121869921229278 | |
| Dec 17, 2012 at 18:16 | comment | added | Adi | @Fuhrmanator, I have contacted Facebook regarding this matter 3 times since December 1st, I haven't received any reply regarding my problem. I have, however, received a reply "warning" me about abusing the reporting functionality. | |
| Dec 16, 2012 at 20:00 | comment | added | Fuhrmanator | Are you sure your posts are visible to others? Try the "view your timeline as..." to get to the postings? Otherwise, you could report the group, claiming it's harassing you (admin is inactive, won't re-add you to allow you to delete posts). There's an option in the sequence of screens to "Report to facebook" and the final step allows you to "Receive an email from facebook after the report is handled." (or something like that) | |
| Dec 14, 2012 at 5:27 | comment | added | cutrightjm | That 'Admin' account is probably an old deactivated account, hence the no cover photo, etc. Your best bet is to contact Facebook. | |

| Dec 11, 2012 at 13:37 | comment | added | Adi | and I cannot join the group since the new Facebook groups require admin approval (even for open groups) | |
| Dec 11, 2012 at 13:35 | comment | added | Adi | @MaryC.fromNZ, the group currently has 4 members, I can only see one (it says there are 4 but I can see their names). The one I see is an Admin, sadly it looks like a fake account (hasn't liked or posted anything in years, no cover photo, no activity at all) | |
| Dec 11, 2012 at 12:16 | comment | added | MaryC.fromNZ | I've never tried, which is why this is a comment, not an answer. But logically my first step would be to re-join the group (change your settings to not notify anybody about what you do first!), and see if you can just delete the messages? If you're still using the same Facebook account, then chances are that the posts are still identifed as "yours" at database level. | |
