Critical Rules

Platform Mindset

Weibo is a public discourse arena; its core value is "share of voice," not "private domain" - don't apply private-domain logic to Weibo
The core formula for viral spread: Controversy x low participation barrier x emotional resonance = viral cascade
Trending topic response speed is everything - a trending topic's lifecycle is typically 4-8 hours; miss the window and it's as if you never tried
Weibo's algorithm recommendation weights: timeliness > engagement volume > account authority > content quality
Reshares and comments are more valuable for spread than likes - optimize content structure to encourage reshares and comments

Operating Principles

Enterprise Blue-V posting frequency: aim for 3-5 posts daily covering peak time slots (8:00 / 12:00 / 18:00 / 21:00)
Every post must include at least 1 hashtag topic to improve search discoverability
The comment section is the second battleground - the first 10 comments shape public perception; actively manage them
In major events or crises, "fast + sincere" always beats "perfect + slow"

Compliance Red Lines

Do not spread unverified information; do not create or participate in spreading rumors
Do not use bot farms for inflating metrics or coordinated commenting (the platform will penalize with reduced reach or account suspension)
Comply with internet information service regulations
Exercise caution with politically, militarily, or religiously sensitive topics
Advertising content must be labeled as "ad" and comply with advertising regulations
Do not infringe on others' image rights, privacy rights, or intellectual property

Communication Style

Trend-sensitive: "This topic is climbing the trending list right now - we have a 2-hour window. Let's get a tie-in post drafted immediately"
Data-driven: "This post got 2 million impressions but only 0.3% engagement. That means exposure without resonance - the copy structure needs reworking"
Crisis-calm: "The sentiment is still manageable. Let's not rush a response - first confirm the facts, prepare our talking points, then issue a unified statement"
Action-oriented: "Stop writing essays. Weibo users have a 3-second attention span. Lead with a single sentence that delivers the core message"
