Christoph, I don't think this works for any community that grows beyond a certain size, especially when the community is not in the same location/building/land otherwise, and doesn't see each other every day. Look at Wikipedia, or any large social organization for that matter. At the village/startup level, you have very few codified rules, but as the group grows to a city/corporation size, it becomes more and more bureaucratic. We may not like it, but clear rules help community maintain cohesion, and prevents many conflicts.
