Hi,
Is there any policy in moderating threads on social media accounts?
I am specifically thinking on this example:
https://www.facebook.com/wikipedia/posts/10153251771908346
There is quite a few demeaning comments there. I would have hoped for a
zero tolerance policy towards these. Now the volunteer who was taking the
photos are trying to debate (forgetting to not feed the trolls).
