Page 4 When collaborative sites have moderation functions to prevent a ‘free for all’, does this defeat the purpose?
The easy critiscm is that the moderation does prevent a 'free for all' as the website is not completely taken over by participants and their thoughts, opinions and beliefs as the companies have to use rules and regulations to restrict content to save any kind of offence and to keep websites on the right path. The idea of MYpsace and Bebo is that you have your own account which you can customise in various ways through pictures etc but the whole control is not down to one person. This can be seen with Fcaebook as the account page cannot me modified by the participant as the companies colours are blue and white and it is the same for everybody. However the popularity is not lost because of lack of control as participants have other ways of functioning the crucial point is to carry on maintaining these webistes to keep the popularity going.
