Online community idea

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...

Any online community/reputation system based on subjectivity will never work for everyone.

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.

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.

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.

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...

The problem is that the vast majority of people are toxic, and you can't change that. Perhaps I demonstrate that point! ;) Marc

Not really - put face to face with the persons they're talking about, not many people would behave the same as they do on the net. It's the anonymity that brings out the wurst in people. You can see it here on CP as well: The members who know each other from daily chit-chat etc treat each other with a reasonable amount of respect (even those who don't like each other all that much), but you can see the same people chew up some innocent newbie with no holds barred. So because I know you and your reputation, I will definitely refrain from calling you a stupid asshat for the comment you just posted... ;)
