The data were collected by using the documentation technique following the following procedures: identified, collected, classified, analyze. The results show that the maxim that violated the most often among the SEC-EROS group members was Maxim of Manner. Meanwhile, the maxim that violated the most often by member to member of the SEC-EROS group was Maxim of Relation. Lastly, the maxim that violated the most often by members to lecturers was Maxim of Quantity. Moreover, the maxim of Quality was not frequently flouted in this research. In short, since this group was an informal media of communication, the way of communicating showed their close relationship in an informal sense rather than formal communication. Therefore, the violating of the maxims in the postings did not always break the communication, but it reflected maintaining a good informal relationship among members.
