Social networks and computer-mediated communities
I really hate web-based presentation style slide-shows because they never provide the context of the original conversation and they require way too many slow page loads. Why don't people post long scrolling pages with lots of explanatory text as befits a browser interface and a remote audience?
With that said, here's a slideshow of a wide overview of relevant issues for computer-mediated community design. It touches on graph theory, small-world networks, reputation, human social networks and behavior management. The conclusions are perhaps a bit rash given the data to back them up, but you can decide for yourself.
