Abstract
The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for generating a just-in-time reputation score. The method according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises receiving a user generated content item from a user, calculating an initial reputation score and retrieving a plurality of rules. The method then analyzes the user generated content item based on the rules and determines a just-in-time reputation score based on the analysis. Finally, the method displays the just-in-time reputation score and the content item to the user.
Claims33
A method for generating a just-in-time reputation score, the method comprising:
- receiving a user generated content item from a user;
- calculating an initial content score for the user generated content item, wherein the initial content score is an average of a score for each of a plurality of prior user generated content items received from the user;
- retrieving one or more content submission rules based on at least one of:
- historical trends in a plurality of prior generated content items received from a plurality of members of a community or rules defined by the community;
- analyzing said user generated content item against said one or more content submission rules;
- determining a just-in-time reputation score of the user generated content item based on the initial content score adjusted accordingly to said analysis;
- displaying said just-in-time reputation score, said user generated content item to the user, and a message informing the user that said user generated content item violates the one or more rules;
- and
- receiving a modified user generated content item modified in response to displaying said just-in-time reputation score, said user generated content item, and the message informing the user that said user generated content item violates the one or more rules.
A system comprising at least one processing device coupled to at least one client device over a network, the at least processing device operable at least to:
- receive a user generated content item from a user;
- calculate an initial content score for the user generated content item, wherein the initial content score is an average of a score for each of a plurality of prior user generated content items received from the user;
- retrieve one or more content submission rules based on at least one of:
- historical trends in a plurality of prior generated content items received from a plurality of members of a community or rules defined by the community;
- analyze said user generated content item based on said one or more content submission rules;
- determine a just-in-time reputation score of the user generated content item based on the initial content score adjusted accordingly to said analysis;
- display said just-in-time reputation score, said user generated content item to the user, and a message informing the user that said user generated content item violates the one or more rules;
- and
- receiving a modified user generated content item modified in response to displaying said just-in-time reputation score, said user generated content item, and the message informing the user that said user generated content item violates the one or more rules.
A non-transitory computer readable media having computer readable program code embodied therein, the computer readable program code when executed by a processing device causes the processing device to perform a method comprising:
- receiving a user generated content item from a user;
- calculating an initial content score for the user generated content item, wherein the initial content score is an average of a score for each of a plurality of prior user generated content items received from the user;
- retrieving one or more content submission rules based on at least one of:
- historical trends in a plurality of prior generated content items received from a plurality of members of a community or rules defined by the community;
- analyzing said user generated content item based on said one or more content submission rules;
- determining a just-in-time reputation score of the user generated content item based on the initial content score adjusted accordingly to said analysis;
- displaying said just-in-time reputation score, said user generated content item to the user, and a message informing the user that said user generated content item violates the one or more rules;
- and
- receiving a modified user generated content item modified in response to displaying said just-in-time reputation score, said user generated content item, and the message informing the user that said user generated content item violates the one or more rules.
