Clay Shirky states that:

... for any group determined to maintain a set of communal standards some mechanism of enforcement must exist.

A few related questions:

• If the blogosphere is "to maintain a set of communal standards" regarding etiquette, what mechanism of enforcement can be implemented?
• What are some ways that etiquette is currently enforced throughout the blogosphere?
• What are some steps that could be taken to ensure a more consistent mechanism of enforcement?
