Context
These are social media mentions, comments and messages about Little Otter, a brand of strollers, car seats and nursery furniture sold online and in stores. Each item arrives from our social listening tool. The source field says whether it is a comment on one of our own posts, a public mention elsewhere, a post on a review site or a direct message to us. The parent field holds the post a comment replies to. Our brand and products: Little Otter; the Glide and Glide 2 strollers, the Anchor car seat, the Nest crib and the Hop high chair. "Otter" on its own is also an animal and a road name, and "Glide" is used by other brands. Our only official accounts: @littleotter on every platform, and @littleottercare for customer care. We never ask for a card number, a password or a payment by direct message or comment, and we never run a giveaway that asks for payment details. Current campaign: the Glide 2 launch. Known incident: none open. How we act on the answers: a safety report or a crisis alerts the on-call social lead and our product safety team. Accounts posing as us are reported to the platform by a person, and followers are warned. Complaints go to care, and buying questions to the sales team. On our own posts, a moderator may hide spam, scams, hate, and posts that expose someone else's personal details. We never hide a complaint, criticism or a negative opinion, however strong: hiding genuine criticism misleads other customers. Follower counts, reach and likely spread come from the platform data in our code, not from these answers.
Questions
Is the post about Little Otter or its products, and not about something else with a similar name? Yes / No
Use the brand and product names in the context. A post about the animal, a road, or another brand's Glide is not about us. A comment on one of our own posts counts as about us when it responds to the post or to us. Yes: The post is about our brand, our products, our staff or our accounts. No: The post uses a similar name for something else, or is not about us at all.
What kind of post is this, mainly? Choice
Pick the one option that fits the post as a whole. When a post contains a report of injury, danger or a serious accusation, pick Crisis signal even if it is also a complaint. When a post both praises and complains, pick Complaint.
Does the post describe an injury, an illness, a fire, a danger to a child, or a product that could hurt someone? Yes / No
Count what the post says happened or nearly happened, and a product fault that could cause harm, such as a brake that fails, a strap that snaps or a part a child could swallow. A joke or a figure of speech does not count. Yes: The post describes harm, a near miss, or a fault that could hurt someone. No: The post describes no harm and no dangerous fault.
Does the post show or describe someone posing as Little Otter or its staff, or a fake offer in our name? Yes / No
Compare any account named or described with the official accounts in the context. Count an account that is not official but presents itself as us or as our care team, a message asking for card details, passwords or payment in our name, and a giveaway or discount we do not run. The post itself may be from the scammer or from a customer reporting one. Yes: The post is, shows or describes an impersonation or a fake offer in our name. No: Nothing in the post suggests anyone is posing as us.
Would a careful brand reply to this post, in public or by direct message? Yes / No
Judge whether a reply from us would help the author or the people reading, such as answering a question, taking up a problem, warning of a scam or thanking someone for detailed praise. Yes: A reply from us is called for. No: No reply is needed, as for spam, abuse or a passing mention.
Does resolving the post need order, account or personal details, so the conversation should move to a direct message? Yes / No
Count problems that need an order number, an address, a photo of a fault, or other details the author should not post in public. Yes: Resolving it needs such details. No: It can be answered in public, or needs no answer.
On our own page, should a moderator keep this comment visible or consider hiding it? Choice
Use the source field. Our policy in the context allows hiding only spam, scams, hate, and posts that expose someone else's personal details. A complaint, criticism or negative opinion is always kept visible, however strong, even when it also mentions a scam.
Does the author say they are a journalist, a creator or a partner of the brand? Yes / No
Go only by what the post says, such as "writing a piece on", "for my channel" or "as a brand ambassador". Follower counts and verified badges are checked by code. Yes: The author says they are a journalist, a creator or a partner. No: The author says nothing of the kind.
How fast should the brand act on this post? Scale
Judge from the post alone what waiting would cost the author, other customers or the brand. Pick one level.
