In an online forum, users debate whether a community should ban short-term rentals. Most active posters use anonymous usernames and display a badge indicating membership in either "Local Homeowners" or "Housing Access Advocates." A moderator posts a poll and pins a comment from a prominent "Local Homeowners" member stating that "real residents know the answer," urging others to vote for a ban. Over several hours, many users who identify with "Local Homeowners" publicly post agreement, while dissenting comments from the same badge group receive replies such as "stop embarrassing us." Some users later report they voted for the ban even though they had reservations, because they assumed most of their group supported it based on the comment thread. Concept tested: conformity. Which factor most contributes to conformity in the described context?
