Although online societies differ in content from real society, the roles people assume in their online communities are quite similar. Elliot Volkman[34] points out several categories of people that play a role in the cycle of social networking, these include:
Community architect – Creates the online community, sets goals and decides the purpose of the site.
Community manager- Oversees the progress of the society. Enforces rules, encourages social norms, assists new members, and spreads awareness about the community.
Professional member- This is a member who is paid to contribute to the site. The purpose of this role is to keep the community active.
Free members -These members visit sites most often and represent the majority of the contributors. Their contributions are crucial to the sites' progress.
Passive lurker - These people do not contribute to the site but rather absorb the content, discussion, and advice.
Active lurker- Consumes the content and shares that content with personal networks and other communities.
Power users - These people push for new discussion, provide positive feedback to community managers, and sometimes even act as community managers themselves. They have a major influence on the site and make up only a small percentage of the users.
