  • Publication number: 20070239684
    Abstract: A content management system determines which user submitted content is to be included in a default experience of a mixed content website. Users submitting content are assigned trust levels based on their history of content submittal and other users' experience with the submitted content. Once a user reaches a predetermined trust level, their content may be included in the default experience without further vetting. An additional complaint review mechanism may be included for filtering unacceptable content and adjusting a submitting user's trust level.
