How do online communities organize themselves??

Hello Sasha, thank you for commenting towards my post, I see you have generated an interesting question where online communities can be defined or discovered to be a negative outcome.

I agree that misusing of the proper tool can lie upon negative effects. (This referring to pedophiles and other child sexual offenders) General speaking, discussing a subject that may cause sexual assault upon others in a social way is determined to be offensive. However this is depending on how the user is cherishing the proper tool for creating online communities.
However I would like to answer back, in the real world "we" generally agree that all positives have negative effects, while negatives always generate some good. [Yin and yang]. If one doesn't oppose the other then how can we determine what is good and bad?

Back to the subject, other users may see that reading other communities post on the topic sense is a negative manner. However if we switch our mind into a positive perspective, we can use these negative information, into a good way. Generally by sharing a bad topic to the goods in public, they can generate a solution into removing the bad habits. People who research on pedophile are trying to solve the pedophiles issue and can use this as a source to back themselves up, creating a strong proof that improves the society.

Overall people who are sharing bad information may harm “the innocent” however the more they share, the more the goods “absorb” the stronger they oppose back with information that the bad has shared. In other words “best offense is best defense or best defense is the best offense” (SunTzu –“art of war”).
It’s interesting to see that sometimes you look at something may seem broad, but if you look broader and wider, it helps to free your mind.

I’ll be glad to hear back from how you feel towards this.
Having an Asian background it sort of shifts my mind of thinking. However being born in Australia I also feel the same way Australian senses. I like to absorb information and then compare between both cultures. It is a strength for me to switch identities and see what outcomes it may lead by brainstorming in a Asian sense or Australian sense.
