Struggles in community and how to face them

The more complex the community becomes, the more difficult it is to handle some things. I manage (several) communities and have to face many things that are not convenient to solve but have to do anyway so I would share my approach. It may help you. I picked 3 of the most common scenarios I face frequently. 🔴 Hate comments, swear words, impolite convo ✅ I usually report these because some swear words can result in "copycat" behaviour (sometimes even for no reason) + which damages the brand. 🔴 Bot comments ✅ Do not answer or report them as AI / fake accounts 🔴 Concerns expressed over data in comments ✅ Although some businesses collect data, it is necessary to refer to the privacy policy – you need to attach the link. (People are warned about this before using the product and they should be reminded to read it beforehand.) What were the struggles you had to solve? We can enrich each other about "crisis communication."

I appreciate you sharing your approach. 🙌 My point is: 🔴Inactive Members or Low Engagement ✅ Re-engage with polls, challenges, or exclusive content. Personalized outreach to dormant members can also make a big difference.

Great insights on community management! Dealing with hate comments, bots, and privacy concerns can definitely be challenging. One thing I’ve found helpful is connecting with other community managers and professionals who share their strategies and experiences. I’m part of a growing group where we discuss everything from managing community issues to growing on LinkedIn. It’s been incredibly valuable for learning and support. If anyone’s interested, feel free to DM me for more info on the community!"

@busmark_w_nika I’m unable to share the link here, but I’ve sent it over via LinkedIn.

Great points! I've also noticed that addressing concerns early on in the conversation helps prevent bigger issues later
