... there are no simple 'right' answers for most web design questions (at least not for the important ones). What works is good, integrated design that fills a need--carefully thought out, well executed, and tested.

Mosier, Donna J., Dubrovsky, Vitaly J. and Clapper, Danial L. (1995): Effects of Network Pattern and Status Congruence on Computer-Mediated Group Decision Making. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 834-838.

Classic experimental studies on restrictive communication networks concluded that network patterns and status congruency affect efficiency, satisfaction, and leadership of group decision making. This experiment had a two-fold purpose: (1) to determine if computer-mediated communication would effect the results of these studies; and (2) to assess centrality of network position as a context cue of social status. The results suggested that network pattern retained its influence in computer-mediated groups, while influence of status congruence was weakened by the equalization effects of the computer media. The results also indicated that a center position in the computer network did serve a social-context cue of status: a high-status person exerted status influence only occupying the hub position. Thus, assignment of group members to network positions of equal or different centrality can be used as means of controlling influence of status and authority in computer-mediated groups.
