The Online Community Research Network just released high-level results from its latest report: Key Factors Establishing an Online Community’s Culture
It reaffirms that features and tools aren’t as important as content, a clear value statement, and a well moderated community…
One key area we wanted to understand was the short list of factors that community managers thought were most important in establishing a communities culture. We asked: “What are the three most important factors in establishing and maintaining a community’s culture?”
The top three responses (in order) were:
* Quality, up-to-date content
* Have a clear objective / value statement 11% (12)
* strong moderation / facilitation 12% (13) of the community site was a critical factor.
