规范对于在线社区的管理方式至关重要。然而，规范也是出现的，是由于互动而产生的，并且在社区之间可能会有很大的变化 - 使其在大规模学习方面具有挑战性。在本文中，我们以大规模的经验方式研究了Reddit的社区规范。通过在10个月内由100个顶级列表的主持人删除的280万注释，我们使用计算和定性方法来识别三种类型的规范：与Reddit大多数部分通用的宏规范；在某些子列表中共享的中索规范；以及针对个体，相对独特的子列表的微型规范。鉴于Reddit的用户群的大小以及不同的子列表所涵盖的广泛主题 - 我们认为这代表了更广泛的互联网文化中规范的首次大规模普查。换句话说，这些发现阐明了什么reddit值以及这些值的广泛范围。我们通过讨论对新的和现有在线社区的设计的影响来结束。
Norms are central to how online communities are governed. Yet, norms are also emergent, arise from interaction, and can vary significantly between communities---making them challenging to study at scale. In this paper, we study community norms on Reddit in a large-scale, empirical manner. Via 2.8M comments removed by moderators of 100 top subreddits over 10 months, we use both computational and qualitative methods to identify three types of norms: macro norms that are universal to most parts of Reddit; meso norms that are shared across certain groups of subreddits; and micro norms that are specific to individual, relatively unique subreddits. Given the size of Reddit's user base---and the wide range of topics covered by different subreddits---we argue this represents the first large-scale census of the norms in broader internet culture. In other words, these findings shed light on what Reddit values, and how widely-held those values are. We conclude by discussing implications for the design of new and existing online communities.
