Just came across Matt Mullenweg's Wordpress post and he has compiled easy steps in how people easily kill their community online. This not only refers to individual blogs to forums in general I think. I think this is a very helpful insight in maintaining a healthy environment online here and everywhere. Please read along.

I thought you meant non-virtual communities... like neighborhoods, societal units etc, in which case i was going to say "build a bizarrely incentifized highway building program"

That was entertaining, wasn't it? I have often wondered about the effectiveness of some of those tactics, especially the whole being controversial stuff.

That was entertaining! I'm guilty of the offensive content thing. Although ideally, I try and insinuate that you can leave whatever comment you want but if you're going to scream, curse bah bah at least do it legibly! And fully cap locked comments are just a nuisance bah.
I swear I am not a control freak heh =P -

Man, this really stayed alive for a long time! I got a kick out of everything on there, especially the NASCAR analogy. Also, I never understood why so many pingbacks and trackbacks and messy 'content' that isn't actually relevant to a site would end up in the comments. It's less common than it seemed to be a year ago, but I still don't understand why it's even an option.
I'm a big fan of clean and simple designs, and I think you're dead-on.
