Most of us had some experience with using Facebook groups. We use Facebook as an example because it is the most familiar social network with an extensive user database. Let examine some shortcomings of Facebook groups, as many users and admins complain about the inefficiency of that feature.

Issue number one is the coverage. If you use groups extensively, you probably noticed some discrepancies in Facebook's 'reach squeeze', which impacts how many people see your posts in the group. Some say it is between 10% to 30%, however there is no significant difference in the output, simply - you cannot push all your content to everyone. As a group admin, you may find it very frustrating and have probably searched for other social resources to transfer your group to. However, here you are faced with a different dilemma, as most social resources lack the functional of Facebook and due to that have very few users. CannaSOS has solved this problem with guaranteeing 100% content coverage and providing similar functional as Facebook. If you choose to carry your group over to CannaSOS, we guarantee that all of our 10,000+ members will see your posts.

The second issue is the "no drug policy" that is a part of Facebook terms and conditions, prohibiting all marijuana advertising. The "no drug policy" is typically very strict and found in major social websites. Hence, you can create a group to suite your cannabis needs, but you cannot promote it, as it automatically falls under the "drug advertising" clause. Our solution has been specifically created to suit worldwide cannabis community. Hence, you have little to no restrictions regarding the content of your posts or promotion of your group.

Lastly, the most annoying issue with many social platforms is spam. People share their content like crazy without any consideration about the quality and content relevance to the group. To solve this issue, we have developed an advanced user contribution system which allows the users to upvote or downvote a piece of content. Furthermore, the group admin can monitor the contribution limit for his group by setting lower contribution value. Upon reaching that value, the spamming user will be banned automatically from the group. For instance, if you have set a contribution limit of -50 for your group, a person whose content gets downvoted to this value will be muted automatically.

We at CannaSOS care about the quality and the relevance of our content and believe you, as a group admin, do as well. Thus, we are working hard to provide you with tools to streamline your content and enhance your group. Additionally, the contribution system is linked to the contribution meter, unique to each group. Hence, the group with the better content will appear on higher positions in a search. Better content equals higher results! Besides that, the technology behind the group contribution is the same as on your personal profile, which means you can redeem the total group's contribution into interesting perks. This part is not ready yet, but coming really, really soon ;)

These and many other features available at your disposal, take a look and give it a try!
