Hi there,
Thanks James for being proactive on this over the weekend and thank you Jan
for bringing this up!
Yes those comments were highly offensive. I deleted some and banned some
other users. Our Fb tends to be more concentrated nexus of offensive
trolling. G+ we can apply the same discretion of going through and deleting
the offensive commentary.

I have hidden the worst thread I saw (I'm on
vacation still but felt it
was pretty bad) as well as a couple of the stupid comments.
I also think leaving a comment as Wikipedia warning the user who made the
thread I hid would be good. I got a 2nd opinion from Philippe (no one else
was responding) but am going to wait for 20 minutes before I post. Will go
ahead and do so if I don't hear anything to the contrary. What I plan to
post is below (this is in response to their latest post in the thread about
how you have to respect other peoples opinion, I don't have to accept your
opinion that someone is a 'disgusting beast' on our page, no) :
You are welcome to have your opinions Kitty, however you are not welcome
to say something like that here. This thread has
been hidden (it is still
visible to you and your friends), I am happy to delete it if you'd prefer.
Further comments along these lines however will cause you to be banned from
further discussion on Wikipedia posts.
I'm not against having a more formal safe spaces policy that we post on
the facebook page (we can't moderate Twitter much, we can google+ though I
think? at least on our board). I would prefer we have a light hand, but
these comments were not borderline.

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).
