Prevention: Planning
Your online presence, and the person answering it, is a
“face” of your organization – make sure it’s a good one.
Who is your online voice?

Prevention: Planning
Make your policy known – and fair.
If you delete something, tell your fans and tell them why
Don’t delete because you disagree, only delete if it’s a violation – stay transparent.
Do you have a commenting policy?

1 - Tone. What is the severity of the person's tone - are they totally negative, neutral, seem like they could be talked to? 2 - Influence. How many followers, friends, subscribers do they have? How many people are they really talking to? 3 - Frequency. Is this a standalone argument / complaint or does there seem to be a trend brewing? Is it the usual suspects or does this person seem to be gathering a following? 4 – Snowballing. Is it something that if your average person were to hear, they would be horrified?

Dec 8th: A recovering heroin addict, John Smith, brought his young cat, Fluffy, to a humane society’s clinic on Dec. 8 after it suffered a laceration on a barbed-wire fence. He didn’t have the funds to pay for treatment. His mother could pay via credit card over the phone.
They were not able at the time to process credit card payments via phone. Smith said that staff said he could surrender the cat and the cat would go to foster and be treated.
Dec 8th - 20th: He called and asked for updates, and didn’t receive calls back. He visited area shelters for two weeks looking for the cat. He went to the media.
Dec 20th: He is told Fluffy was euthanized a few hours after he was surrendered because of lack of doctors/resources. The shelter said they didn’t have a way to get a hold of him.
Be Quick
