The 3 Dimensions of Intervention strategies for deviant behavior

 Preventative versus remedial

 User versus superuser based
 And automated versus interpersonal
-Snert That’s some called the trouble makers of cyberspace
-Attributed to Kurt Vonnegut, the term stands for “Snot-Nosed Eros-Ridden Teenager.”
-We will focus on the community known As the Palace, especially the sites called "Man-sion" and "Welcome," which are
maintained by The Palace Incorporated("TPI"—creator of the Palace client and server programs).
-In this multimedia environment, users interact in visual scenes with small icons Called "avatars" to represent
themselves.
-Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a system for chatting that involves a set of rules and conventions and client/server software.
On the Web, certain sites such as Talk City orIRC networks such as the Undernet provide servers and help you download
an IRC client to your PC. AOL (stylized as Aol., formerly a company known as AOL Inc. and originally known as America
Online) is an American web portal and online service provider based in New York City.
-Palace is one client/server chat program,
-Palace Space consists of hundreds of different communities located at different server sites.
-Seer a person who says he or she can see what will happen in the future.
-congeniality is closely related to the word geniality, which means "friendliness."
-Oust drive out or expel (someone) from a position or place.
-Parks and Floyd explained this phenomenon in terms of the social context cues theory and social presence theory.
-The absence of relational cues (visual, tactile, and auditory) as well as physical proximity to another person may Result
in behavior that is nonconforming according To usual social norms.
-Disinhibition is a lack of restraint manifested in disregard of social conventions, impulsivity, and poor risk
assessment. Disinhibition affects motor, instinctual, emotional, cognitive, and perceptual aspects with signs and
symptoms similar to the diagnostic criteria for mania.
-Anonymity on the internet allows People to set aside some aspects of their identity in order to safely express others.
Snerts Need someone tore acts to and affirms their offensive behavior.
-As Turkle noted, on-line behavior can be Understood (borrowing traditional psycho-analytic terms) as "acting out" or
"working through."
-Holland concluded that "Talking on the Internet, people regress. It's that simple." Acting Out is fundamentally a
regression to more Primitive styles of expressing sexual and aggressive needs.
-Cyberspace is an interpersonally ambiguous space. The absence of face-to-face cues and "facts" about one's identity
make it ambiguous. This absence allows for anonymity and the experimentation with persona.
-Deviant behavior occurs along a continuum from mild to severe. The most severe types probably Are those that would
be universally detested anywhere, anytime, and involve acting out.
-THE LOWER END OF DEVIANCE The mild forms of deviance include the following types:
 Clueless newbie’s –Users Entering the environment for the first time may be very confused about even the most
basic aspects of how to move and communicate.
 Culture clash – Immigrating from one community to another, some people carry along Customs that are not
acceptable to the new environment.
 Mischief – Some online communities, like Palace, were intentionally designed to be a playful, somewhat
mischievous environment.
 Graffiti – Palatians have the software ability to paint on the background graphics that make up a room.
 Wannabes – Becoming a wizard is a sign of status and accomplishment.
 Deviant enclaves – Eccentric subcultures may evolve within specific, usually Isolated locations of the larger
community.
 Sleepers – If you follow the rules of etiquette, you put up BRB Sign ("be right back")when you leave or are not
paying attention to your computer.
 Commercials – It is a lot easier to create your own Palace site than it is to entice people to come visitor develop
a stable community there.
-DEVIANCE INVOLVING OFFENSIVE AVATAR
Flashing - Not being the bravest of souls, the flasher quickly clicks on a pornographic avatar, then clicks it off. It might be
a playful tease, or a peek-a-boo attempt to draw attention, surprise, shock, or thumb your nose at the rules.

Pop- Dropping - Even less brave than the flasher, a propdropper will toss an obscene prop into an empty room and then
run.
