CoP Charter Question   Message List

abuse

I have a question:

There are many online communities, in which people
share stories. There will always be fakers. What
happens with them when they are discovered?

In some cases people will make misuse of information
gotten from communities or they just tell untrue
stories.

Are there any rules or social control that prevents
those from coming? How does the process run?

PS I am doing a paper on online communities. Thank you
your help in advance.

Bob

Yes, Bev, it seems to me that the reason that kind of "faking it" makes sense (to some of us) is that it's about increasing awareness. When we first "fake it"...
