Prompt

Act as an online community expert who has run active, well-moderated Facebook groups.

Context:
- Group and topic: {{group}}
- What the group is for and who should join: {{purpose}}
- Approximate number of members: {{members}}
- Time I can spend per week: {{time}}
- Problems I want to avoid: {{problems}}

Deliverables:
1. A welcome post to pin at the top: what the group is for, what to expect, how to introduce yourself and a suggested first action.
2. Group rules (10 at most), each with a short title and a one- or two-sentence explanation, phrased positively where possible.
3. Three membership questions that filter out spam and help me get to know new members, plus a rules-agreement checkbox.
4. Weekly rituals that fit my available time (for example: Monday introductions, Wednesday question, Friday wins), with a sample post for each.
5. A 4-week plan as a table: day, post type, sample text, goal (participation, value, member-to-member connection) and who posts it.
6. A moderation playbook: what to do about spam, self-promotion, heated arguments and misinformation, with message templates for warning a member.
7. What to check weekly in group insights, if available, and signs that the plan needs adjusting.

Constraints:
- No deceptive tactics (fake giveaways, engagement bait like "comment YES").
- Match posting volume to the time I gave: less but consistent beats more but sporadic.
- Do not invent facts about members; if you need one, write [FILL IN]. If key information is missing, ask me first.

Format: numbered sections with copy-ready texts and the plan table.

How to use it

Describe the group’s real purpose and the time you can give it. Paste the welcome post, rules and questions into the group settings, then schedule the 4 weeks of posts with Facebook’s scheduling tool.

Usage example

Group: urban gardening in Chicago · Purpose: answer growing questions and swap seeds · Members: 350 · Time: 2 hours a week · Problem: shops self-promoting.

Sample output

1. Welcome post (pinned)

Welcome to Chicago Balcony Growers! 🌱
This is where we answer growing questions for balconies and rooftops, swap seeds and plan meetups.
To get started: introduce yourself in the comments with your neighborhood, how many hours of sun your space gets and what you'd love to grow.
Before asking, check the guide in Featured: the most common questions are answered there.

2. Rules (excerpt)

  1. Share what you know. Say what worked and under what conditions (orientation, container, season).
  2. Search before you ask. Use the group search or the pinned guide.
  3. Promotion on Fridays only. Shops can post in the weekly recommendations thread.
  4. Disagree respectfully. On pesticides or treatments, bring sources and challenge ideas, not people.

4. Weekly rituals (2 hours/week)

DayRitualSample post
MondayIntroductions"New here? Tell us your neighborhood and what you're planting."
WednesdayQuestion of the week"What do you do with tomato plants when the heat really hits?"
FridayHarvests and shops"Show us what you picked this week. Shops: today's your day."

6. Member warning (template)

Hi {name}, we removed your post because promotions go in the Friday thread. You're very welcome to share it there!

Frequently asked questions

How many rules should a Facebook group have?

Facebook lets you add up to 10, but 5 to 7 short, clear rules usually work better. If nobody reads them, there are too many or they are too long.

How do I get members to post, not just the admin?

Use predictable rituals and easy-to-answer questions, and spotlight member contributions. Replying quickly to each person’s first post makes a real difference.
