6. It can be debated however if that trust is always justified, as there is a tendency to misuse the system. Websites that use evaluation often try to counter this by adding additional levels like “how useful did you find that comment/rating” or creating a rating of the rater system (like eBay).
7. There are some very good books on the nature of CoPs from Etienne Wenger, one of the fathers of CoPs. Refer to the reading list in Appendix B at the end of the book for more information or just search for Etienne on your favorite book order site.
