How to respond to information posted about you or your company on ourcommunitypower.com forums ?

I understand that there will be a lot of anger if you see negative information posted against you on one of the http://www.ourcommunitypower.com forums:

A. If your company has been written negatively about on the forums there are two things you can do:

1. You can make a rebuttal in a samebox.
For e.g of a rebuttal that was posted please read:
http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/settlement/freedomdebtrelief.html#post233574

At the end of the first post you will see:
“SameBox Response from Vikas:
Response from Freedom Debt Relief Managing Partner - http://www.debtconsolidationcare.com/forums/attachments//freedom_debt_relief_955.pdf

The samebox responses are free and I will also change the title tag and the description of pages so that the person reading those pages can get a balanced view.

2. Fax me a letter under penalty of perjury that the content posted is untrue. I will add that to the file I maintain along with the original content and then remove the content.

Here are some examples:

    6 years in business and 2 BBB complaints

    How my business InterNext Technologies Inc. got 2 BBB complains is a very interesting read in itself:

    The first complaint was made by a user who had asked a question in the forum with his real name and then later complained to the BBB that his name was coming up in Google searches with an embarrassing question. I changed his real name to a “Screen name” as soon as I got the complaint.

    The 2nd complaint with the BBB was made by a debt settlement company that alleged that negative information about their debt settlement company was not being removed from the debt consolidation care forums.

    Dealing with online defamation and libel

    Running social networks and forums with close to 200,000 members has one disadvantage, once in a while some crazy person decides to stalk you.

    I have run across two such incidents in my life. These people went online and posted a bunch of crap about me.

    I am working with the legal authorities to get it removed. Most of the defamation is posted anonymously and due to “Safe harbor” and “Freedom of speech” issues the content may not be removed.

    If you do find such content remember the three principles in deciding to believe or not:
    1. I have 2 BBB complaints in the last 7 years of running ourcommunitypower.com. Click here to know more about BBB. To know the reasons for these two BBB complaints please read my next blog post.
    2. There are over 1200 testimonials and more come every day.
    3. Whenever some allegations were made I have engaged the person in a conversation. Please read the whole thread to come to your conclusions.

    And finally feel free to send me an email at kedia.vikas@gmail.com to clear your doubts if you have any.
