My own admin kicked me out of my own FB group...

Facebook are not going to get involved in these sorts of disputes as you made them an Admin and with that comes the rights to do what they did (I not saying that they should have).
You should have made them a moderator and not an admin.


Your only option is to find a way to convince them to give you back the admin rights.

Unfortunately, nothing you can do!

So, i can do the same thing, convince people to let me help them with their FB groups, if I get admin, I can take over their group and kick them out? And theres nothing they can do about it? Thats amazing.

Why don't you ask Facebook? Seriously, ask Donald Trump or Mickey Mouse!

Why would you ask anyone other than facebook?

After all.. you are amazing.

I do not believe a word you say.

Well, unfortunately, you can not do anything now. Even Facebook will not get involved in such an activity as Facebook is not responsible for any such kind of dispute.

All you can do now is just message him to assign you back with the admin rights and pray for his positive reply.

Remember this for future that "Never Ever" provide admin rights to anyone, rather you can give moderator or editor rights.

It is a case of dispute and I'm afraid to say that no one can help you out with this one, not even Facebook.

You can make personal requests to that person to make you admin again, and by God's grace, if he does that, the first thing you do is remove him from admin and give him any other role like editor or moderator (if you want him to continue with the group).

That's all you can do now!

Very Bad

but you are was admin

Admins can remove other Admins as Admin? I thought only the founder can do that

I know how it feels.
2 - 3 months back, I lost my Adsense monetized youtube channel with 140k subscribers, for the same reason, giving access to someone else, and this channel was generating revenue.
Youtube didn't even care, even though I was able to chat directly with them cause I had 100k+ subscribers.
I tried everything I can from my side but I failed to get it back.
I was stupid in this case so I learned a lesson and moved on.

You don't have to waste your time is gone. Keep that as a lesson and never get your ass nailed by anyone. TRUST NOBODY

First, I feel your pain. I have a group that has 80K members in an Amish cooking group. A few years ago I set a few people up as admins and it was understood NOT to make any changes to the settings, as at the time I could not set up Moderators on those groups, just admins. Then it was decided by someone to make it "private" instead of public, and then my sister cut it off completely with the Secret setting. I now never give anyone outside of my own family (accounts I control) admin access.

EDIT: FB just recently allowed the mod access and allowed me to edit it back to private, the highest setting I am now allowed to set it to since I have so many members. For a long time, the rule was that any group with over 5000 members could only go more private, not more public. As I had 89,000+ members when she made it secret, and I ended up losing 10000 members before I was allowed to reverse it to the middle settings, they would not allow me to do anything, I was just in a holding pattern for a long time... Finally I saw last month that the settings allowed me to change it to that middle setting and now I have grown around 1000 members since.

My suggestion: Start a new group and invite your people to re-join. Or if you think you can get him to give you access back, then do so.

Wow guys, who knew there were so many stories. Thank you guys for sharing...

YES, definately lesson learned, and never again will I trust any "guru" internet marketer.

He is a pretty well known content creator, I told him today that he was wrong for stealing the group from me, he proceeded to tell me "Now I'm gunna delete the !@#$$ group", Theres no chance he will give it back now.

But I will warn people about him, like I said, he is pretty well known in the IM world, i wont name names here, i'll probably get banned for doing so. But people should know how dishonest he is and a thief.

P.S. great domain name! (amish.xyz)

There's nothing you can do. You have to move on.

Try to convince him and if he still does not make you admin then make a post in group and let everyone knows what he did with you.

Note: I have taken over a couple of abandoned groups in the past, where the admin left their own group, and there was none set up, and then I was able as a member of said group to assume admin responsibilities. I then approved all the members that were waiting in the membership request list and could change the settings etc. So if there is any hope for this OP, he would have to have a friend who is still a member, and once the admin abandons the group, he could go in and claim admin status, and then give it back to the founder. Is that possible? Yes, but only if it is abandoned, by the guy that was set as the admin.

Nope, their is nothing you can do now, you should have think before what may happen if i do this??
Before doing anything, just have list of what can good things happen and what bad can happen, and have solutions before taking any steps. Now no use of this advice, but just don't waste time thinking about it. I know it's hard but there is nothing you can do about it.

Hi unfortunately there's nothing you can do.

Facebook tells clearly that when you give admin access you are letting this person has the same control as you, this means he can kick you out without a problem. Facebook will think that's a personal issue and according you boths have the same admin access won't do nothing.

Try to convince him, maybe it was a mistake or wants money to give it back.

Next time, if you are going to give admin access procure give it to someone more trustable, if not just give an editor access.

Good luck!

There is nothing you can do. You shouldn't have given him admin access in the first place. You can try to convince him.

The "Thief" has since deleted my group of 40k members, I tried to approach him, asked him why I was kicked out of my own group, he did not reply. I waited a few days and asked him again, he then proceeded to tell me that he was going to "delete the F*&^%ing group" because I told him he was wrong for kicking me out, I have never done anything for this person to treat me like this.. and I did trust him to a certain degree, I followed him in the Internet Marketing world and had some admiration for him, since he is a product creator.

I had approached him while back and asked if he would like to help me prune my IM fb group, weed out the spammers, help get more engagement... etc... he happily agreed to help me, i said in turn, he could use the Pin posts section, and advertise his own products in the group, i told him he could ask a few other people to help him also if he wanted to, and as soon as I had more time (i run multiple online businesses) in 2 months or so, he wouldnt have to prune anymore, I was planning on launching another product in the IM niche, and use my group as a spring board.

When it came time to do that, i found out that the person that I asked to help me, had kicked me and banned me from my own group, for no reason... But I bet he got plenty of exposure for his products from pinning the posts and basically having free reign.

Yes, I am the fool for giving him admin, but I really looked up to the guy, and though we were on the same page. Turns out some of these marketing gurus are just thieves. And will step on anything and anyone to get what they want.

I would start a new group and let the old one go. Plus I would only give admin rights to folks I trusted implicitly. That is me though; I am big on releasing.

Sorry to hear about your issue with your Facebook group. I would consider it a painful learning mistake and move forward. Start a new group and never repeat that same mistake again.

It's a bummer and it really sucks, but move on.


It's like someone convincing you to sign over the deed to your house, or to sign a power of attorney. You unfortunately handed over the rights to your group, and you handed over the rights to remove you from your group. When you see it in this light, it only makes sense that Facebook won't get involved. After all, they have no way of knowing you did not give it away or trade your group for something else.



Learn your lesson and move on. At least you know how to build a fb group, so you can do it again - even better. You will become stronger and better as a result of this.
