Have you thought about adding some kind of reputation system? To give incentive for contribution by users.
A voting system could also be useful in verifying that the content is accurate/relevant to users.
- nikivi 9y agoA voting system is already in place. Users can upvote or downvote resources according to what they like and think is useful. Having some kind of reputation system is also a really good idea. You were thinking of having it similar to Reddit where you get `karma` for posting good resources?
- gitgud 9y agoThanks for the responses (to both threads). Yes, reputation is an important factor to the success of all these platforms; Reddit, Stackoverflow, Imgur, Hacker news.... It gives a quantifiable measure of how much you're helping a community. Without it, members can't see the effects of the contributions they've made, and are probably less likely to continue contributing. I personally believe it's an extremely small minority of people who will contribute to your website for altruistic reasons alone.
