  • Publication number: 20160050284
    Abstract: Zone allocation in a zone-based content sharing platform may be provided. The platform may be configured for receiving a selection of a zone; assigning the requested zone to a host; and enabling the host to administer the zone. Assigning the requested zone to the host may comprise enabling the host to administer the zone. Administering the zone may comprise, for example, enabling the host to moderate and/or promote the content shared within the zone. The host may further be enabled to control access to content shared within the zone. The assignment may last for a period of time. Upon the expiration of the period of time, the host may be unassigned from the zone and, thus, have their administrative control of the zone relinquished.
