SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CALCULATING AND PRESENTING A USER-CONTRIBUTOR RATING INDEX

摘要

The quality and/or nature of the contributions submitted by a particular user-contributor may be summarized by a quality rating, a prime slice count, and/or a prime slice ratio. The quality rating may be derived from a subset of top-rated submissions by the user. The prime slice count may indicate how many of the user's submissions are within a top-rated, prime slice of the website corpus. The prime slice ratio may represent a ratio of the prime slice count to the total number of submissions from the user-contributor. Indications of the quality rating, prime slice count, and/or prime slice ration may be displayed in connection with content submitted by the user and/or a user profile. The indicators may include graphics, text, or the like. This invention allows for recognition of a valuable contributor without penalizing the contributor for submissions that do not reflect the contributor's very best work.
