Now how do you get people use only the positive side of SNS?? Tough question...
It could be just those rules which would make people think twice before they do something fancy in their SNSs...Put huge fine / penalties for such actions...It is of no use preaching whether its a small kid or 70 + aged man... Its a mad mad world... Only way out is to scare them and prevent them from even thinking of misusing these sites... ;)
Any more views over this?? Most welcome :)

The overall ethics of each individual is crucial. If everyone here were immature kids who call people names, then this place would pretty much be completely littered with spammers and trolls lol. So it's the community itself that makes the ethics work. So how do we establish such an ethically good community? I believe that the community needs to start out with a few really ethical people, and it'll snowball from there.
Pinterest has an 80% female population. And mostly 18-24. It started out with like 30 women who were into stuff like fashion, food, design, etc.
Google Plus started out as a bunch of tech-savvy people. Look how it turned out.
Reddit has an 80% male population, and also almost 18-24 age group as well. You can see the "male" traits on the site.
Establishing the kind of community in the very beginning will define its brand.

I of course am an anomaly in the data, but I am used to that.
It takes a bit of courage to speak up but realizing what we are striving for makes us willing to defend the good things we have. I hope.
I have to be more self disciplined because I get ticked sometimes and respond in kind and that never helps (except in ego redemption and then it feels great!)
