What rules do we stick to?
1. Post in a short, catchy and engaging way, if possible!

3. Accompany all micro-blogs with pictures/visuals!
4. Answer all private messages and comments, even if they are negative!

How to deal with critical comments?
1. Never immediately respond to the negative comments — calmed down first and then return to it.
2. Never delete comments on Facebook! Deleting negative comments will make people even more angry.
3. Admit your mistakes (if any), and thank ones who bring them to your attention.
4. Don’t ignore negativity, but rather try to turn critical fan into a supportive one.

Don’t worry, there are more positive feedback than negative in total!
