Group chat application with reputation scoring

A system comprising:

• a remote server comprising a programmable processor circuit and associated programming instructions in a server memory, the remote server configured to establish a group chat session among a plurality of users of a corresponding plurality of network accessible devices so that a sequential conversation of comments from the respective users are routed through the remote server and transferred for display in a time sequential order on each of the network accessible devices;
• and
• a judgment circuit coupled to the remote server configured to generate a relevance score for each of the users based on previous comments supplied by the associated users in previous group chat sessions;
• the remote server forwarding display information to the respective network accessible devices to instruct the respective network accessible devices to display the associated comments from the respective users in a visually perceptible manner responsive to the relevance scores of the associated users;
• the remote server maintaining all of the comments from the respective users in the sequential conversation without subdividing the comments therefrom irrespective of the associated relevance scores so that the network accessible devices are enabled to apply different visual indicia to the comments in the displayed conversation to differentiate among the different relevance scores;
• and
• the remote server further configured to, responsive to at least one input from a filter mechanism of the network accessible device of a selected user, selectively restrict communications from the selected user to only other users having an associated relevance score that meets or exceeds a first selected threshold and to restrict communications to the selected user only from other users having an associated relevance score that meets or exceeds a second selected threshold.
