Talk:Reputation management
Beg my pardon dear citizens, as I am still relatively new here, but while this article makes some good points, I fail to see how it relates to the mission at hand. Robot Opera Singer Who Fights Crime (talk) 07:11, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
- I have to agree. I see nothing in this article about anything relevant to RW's mission. Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 07:29, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
- I agree. If there isn't an on-mission angle that can be added to this article, we should toss it. Ochotonaprincepsnot a pokémon 08:25, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
- A lot of what happens here isn't "on mission". That idea is basically a buzzword at this point.--Token Conservative (talk) 16:21, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
- RationalWiki is not a crappy Wikipedia, however hard the occasional editor tries to make it one. Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 18:34, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
- What about online reputation management as an article, though? SophieWilder 18:38, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
- Is it a stupid idea, or is there a boatload of propaganda about it? If not, then it's just us saying "hey there's this thing and it exists." Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments. 18:41, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Footnote 1[edit]
"Nonviolent boring old ORM is probably as good example as any of the forms which real private defense agencies might take -- in contrast to the paramilitary fantasies envisioned by some violence fetishists and alleged anarcho-capitalists." What? SophieWilder 18:38, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
- I'm guessing that it means trying to use false DMCA takedowns on people you don't like for saying things you don't like, as opposed to going for steel-pipe-to-the-ribs diplomacy. In other words, what Launchbooty would not consider, since he's got his generator. Ochotona princepsnot a pokémon 02:31, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
I think it's safe to say[edit]
Since 2013, it's become clear ORM companies are pretty much pure whitewashers and don't do anything to help people with legitimate defamation. ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 17:34, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
- That and "reputation management" firms that use sockpuppets and astroturfing to improve the reputation of their clients. --Pyro (talk) 22:45, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
Managing your online reputation[edit]
- Have one username for 'business and other formal business, and another (or several) for use on RW and for 'being colourful.'
- Know when to curate your online presence and which things you are prepared to say 'So what?' to.
- Assume that if you say or do something 'daft' it will come back to bite you (eg the printing company which started its entry page 'We are well established pinters...' - nobody will bother pointing it out).
