    Apparently toxicity on the internet is a very real problem. When that I experienced first hand in, say, Blizzard's gaming forum. Though not all community are toxic, CodeProject would be quite positive by contrast. What I am investigate is, in the remote possible event where I create my own community website) how to fight the toxicity... Any idea welcome! I was also wondering about a reputation system. Is there any reputation system which worked? I think we can safely say StackOverflow is a total failure here... But I am interested in other example as well...

                Only let people join your community if the promise to take the part of village idiot. It shows a little humbleness, a light heart, and, if all else fails, since they're considered village idiots, no one will take them seriously.

                  It should probably be enough just to let people know that all moderators are active members of Hells Angels... :doh:

                          What if we treat this as a huge multi-armed bandit optimization problem. Have the server serve messages (and replies to them, to prevent out-of-context replies) that it thinks could be good for the objective, plus some exploration of course, balancing those goals is what multi-armed bandit is all about. Optimize for .. I don't know exactly. Maybe do some sentiment analysis on the message and replies to it. Hellban people who consistently show bad payout.

                              Workers and drones needed in abundance compare to controllers. Because of overtaxed familial resources and typical lack of education that ensues, the condition is typically passed from generation to generation. Localized into breeding colonies of what are often referred to as small towns full of good people.

                                  Looking at the primates and mutants others have produced, I actually did not have to think too hard.

                                  The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
                                  This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

                                    Apparently toxicity on the internet is a very real problem. When that I experienced first hand in, say, Blizzard's gaming forum. Though not all community are toxic, CodeProject would be quite positive by contrast. What I am investigate is, in the remote possible event where I create my own community website) how to fight the toxicity... Any idea welcome! I was also wondering about a reputation system. Is there any reputation system which worked? I think we can safely say StackOverflow is a total failure here... But I am interested in other example as well...

                                    That's easy. Give all offenders troll points and encourage trolling them. :-)

                                      And yet, CodeProject is frequently toxic - review the behavior in the lounge. Toxic behavior is tolerated because of the 'rep' points the posters have.

                                        I used to moderate a gaming board when I was working nights, you'll never be able to completely prevent toxicity online, you can only remove, warn and then ultimately ban repeat offenders. It's the whole feeling of anonymity that people get online which they think protects them from repercussions (ultimately they're right, there's a limit to what you can do). Continual trolls (the ones who then re-register) are eventually removed via IP bans only...
