How It Works:
SezWho does not take over commenting or discussion systems, it just makes them more useful by incentivizing participation and making it easy to find quality content.
Unlike other reputation systems, SezWho is fully integrated into the host site. As such, users of a site stay on the site for all operations like rating, viewing profiles and filtering content.
In order to make online community interactions more like real-life, the SezWho rating system mimics the reputation mechanisms of the real world. SezWho takes into account the reputation of the rater, the context of the rating and the timing of the interaction to assign a more accurate and tamper-proof rating.
SezWho enables contributors to build portable reputation. Without SezWho user reputations are confined to a single site. With SezWho users carry their reputation across all sites.
SezWho provides insightful stats for contributors and site-owners. Contributor Stats show how many people are rating and viewing a contributor’s profile. Site Stats show how much traffic SezWho is driving and where the traffic coming from.
Identity authentication is the cornerstone of any good reputation system. SezWho supports Reputation Protection which enables users to lock down their profiles. When a profile is Reputation Protected, any new interaction will require explicit user authorization. This allows users to fully control their participation profiles.
