Hahaha, I'm sorry but that is a bit amuzing. I mean, what did they expect? Kind of thought that would happen when i read the Rules for being on the server.

- Hermel 12y agoSmall countries like Denmark tend to have a much more well-behaved population than large countries. I.e. they queue nicer, they are more likely to return something they found, etc. (game-theoretic research suggests that such a culture is a symptom of having a high likelyhood of meeting again - thus offering more opportunities to punish bad behaviour). That background might explain their optimistic expectations.
- bananas 12y agoPossibly right but unfortunately anonymity turns people into total dicks regardless of nationality.
- SixSigma 12y agoNonsense. This would have happened even if photocopies of their passports were attached with every edit.
- ersii 12y agoExcuse me, but what is this based on? Do you perhaps mean small communities? Because I can tell you from my experience being Swedish in Sweden (~9M inhabitants), that your assumption seems to be false.
- Zirro 12y agoI'm Swedish too, and I disagree. I have often heard that Americans (and others) are surprised at the willingness of most Scandinavians to follow the official and unofficial rules of society. We are likely blind to it as we experience it every day.
- ersii 12y agoWhat are you disagreeing with? The question of what Hermels assumption is based on? I'm open to the idea that my opinion regarding the environment I live in might be biased/skewed and I might not see a representative part of the society or that I be ignorant about what I see; that's why I asked what Hermels assumption was based upon. P.S Was there any tone to my initial post?
- jtfairbank 12y agoStudying in Sweden right now. Compared to the states your countrymen are much more conscientious of each other and public spaces. I joke with my friends that they could get away with soooo much more, but the fact is that everyone takes some more personal responsibility than we see in the states.

The likelyhood of meeting again also depends on population density and the migratory patterns of the society in question. I'm guessing that this research you refer to assumes that the society is fair and each member is treated equally. Punishing someone on the internet is very hard, especially if they retain their anonymity.
