Flaming can be difficult to stop, particularly if it escalates to involving multiple posters. In forums or other closed groups, the simplest solution is often for the administrator to warn the group or even close the discussion temporarily. On a more public stage, such as a company’s Facebook page, doing so may be more harmful to the company’s reputation than working to quell the unruly discussion. If the flaming involves profanity or personal threats of any kind, companies should remove the comments and, if necessary, notify local authorities; however, if the flaming simply involves accusations against the organization, removing the poster may result in cries of censorship. It is wise to consider the ramifications of such action before proceeding.
