(We’ve broken into 3 sub-groups. One group is doing a “How to” guide for reputation design.)
Common mistakes built into reputation systems create mixed signals, confuse users, and alienate or exclude certain populations. Many recognize the need for trust-enhancing reputation, but carry in unconscious assumptions which undermine the effectiveness of their design. This document is a “how to” guide intended to help you challenge your hidden assumptions, walk you through critical decisions, and design an effective reputation framework.
