The community sets the tone and norms, but it is a dynamic, evolving thing, and I think it would be incredibly difficult to robustly formalize in a system that doesn't possess human level intelligence.
Additionally, almost all online communities see a decrease in signal-to-noise ratio as they grow. I think this is one reason reddit has been so successful with their sub-reddit concept, so that groups can splinter off, reformulate their main principles, and start anew.
