Talk:Reputation system

Miranda Wayne
This article lacks a good head section. I think that collecting information to have a good head section is the first thing we need to do to get this article in good standing. Additionally I think that there needs to be a more in depth discussion on the different types of reputation systems. I'll begin working on these items

Some additional problems: 1. It needs explanations or reference for the classification basis of the type. I agree to enhance the types part in the article. 2. In the online type of the reputation system, it includes too many states from Howard Rheingold. It seems that he is not the expert or famous researcher in the field of the reputation system. 3. So many references are not cited in the articles. We may check these references, cite the useful ones and remove the useless ones.

Those are all valid points, Runhua. I will begin working the head section with the following sources: http://rt4rf9qn2y.scholar.serialssolutions.com/?sid=google&auinit=P&aulast=Resnick&atitle=Reputation+systems&id=doi:10.1145/355112.355122&title=Communications+of+the+ACM&volume=43&issue=12&date=2000&spage=45&issn=0001-0782

Additionally, Runhua, I think that we could add some photos or screenshots of different type of recommender systems from popular websites, Amazon, Ebay, etc..

Hi, Waynemb2, that's fine. I think it's a good point. But could we find proper photos without any violation of copyrights? Currently, I am working on updating the section about security issues on reputation system. The second source shows a framework for the analysis of different reputation systems, which is good for classifiction section. Runhua (talk) 03:17, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Runhua I was unable to find a good source for the different types of reputation systems, and we are unable to add any photos to accurately represent reputation systems so I have added a new heading section as well as a section on qualities of effective reputation systems.

Waynemb2 I think that's fine. I also updated the previous attack section (too short) and extended it. Runhua (talk) 17:03, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

Recommendation on Attack and Defense Framework
Attack classification of reputation system is based on the goals of the reputations systems by the attackers.

Attack Type

 * Self-promoting Attack. The attacker falsely increases their own reputation
 * Whitewashing Attack. The attacker uses some system vulnerability to update their reputation.
 * Slandering Attack. The attacker reports false data to lower the reputation of the victim nodes.
 * Orchestrated Attack. The attacker orchestrates their efforts and employs several of the above strategies.
 * Denial of Service Attack. The attacker prevents the calculation and dissemination of reputation values in reputation systems by using Denial of Service method.

Defense Strategies
Here are some strategies to prevent the above attacks.
 * Preventing Multiple Identities
 * Mitigating Generation of False Rumors
 * Mitigating Spreading of False Rumors
 * Preventing Short-Term Abuse of the System
 * Mitigating Denial of Service Attacks

Howard Rheingold
The whole Online Reputation Systems section is basically about Howard Rheingold. Problem? --katiedert —Preceding unsigned comment added by Katiedert (talk • contribs) 21:19, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

I just created this article yesterday. It may reflect some of my own biases, so if something doesn't look right, please fix it or offer suggestions. --Jsnow 03:54, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

recommend adding section on wikipedia reputation system
a short section describing how wikipedia user reputation works would be useful. Ted.strauss (talk) 14:07, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
 * There is no proper user reputation system on Wikipedia. --Fixuture (talk) 08:04, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
