I am thinking of establishing an ‘alternative’ Executive Committee at our Sydney strata, social media based. Let’s say, on Twitter. Put a notice on the noticeboards. Highlight problems, invite comments. Ask who’s dog howls all day. Who’s car keeps parking in the visitor car park. Where was that loud party last night and why wasn’t I invited. When will that broken window be fixed.
What do you reckon? I expect not just trolls but anonymous death threats.

Your real problems arise with an unmediated forum (which Twitter is) when someone uses it anonymously to harass or bully someone they name.
I would set up a basic website that allowed people to comment easily but where the comments were only published after they had been read by a moderator (as they are here).
That only requires a box to be ticked in the back end of the platform (WordPress). You could even provide a password for residents only, to help cut down on spam and avoid complaints about airing your dirty linen in public.
I’m thinking of doing the same in my building where the committee has already started trawling for proxy votes in an effort to subvert the new anti proxy farming laws.
Most domain name sellers and service providers will give you a basic website for not much money
