the problem is you are viewing community posts on steemit.com not on the beta site. Until they come out of beta you need to view them over there before making assumptions about how they work.
all authors can post within your community and you cannot 'whitelist' those that are allowed - so it may be very easy to 'destroy' any community by bombarding it with tons of spam.
While you can't whitelist authors as yet, there is a mute feature to remove improperly posted posts from a community. I recently cleaned up Ramble community by doing so. The post remains on the posters blog but disappears from the community it doesn't belong in.
If you take a look and listen to the post I did after interviewing @roadscape on Curation Corner you'll learn there are two other types of communities coming down the road. The current version is Topical where anyone can post to a community. There will be another which allows restriction of posting and commenting to only those subscribed.
even more important: users need to chose only one community in which they can post their publication.
again if you look at posts on the beta site you will soon realize that when you put a post in a community that post will not show up on your blog. It shows up only in that community. Once communities come out of beta, unless a community prohibits it, you could actually post a relevant post in more than one community. It will not be as easy as adding a tag which is appropriate too many people already use tags that are not relevant.
Seeing that you posted in HIVE-175254 doesn't tell me anything.
When you look at posts on the beta site they resolve to the community name.
Bottom line is people need to STOP judging what they think communities are or aren't based on what they see on steemit.com ... it's like trying to describe water by examining trees.
