Reputation systems

Reputation systems are tools used to assess and display the credibility or trustworthiness of individuals or entities based on their past behavior or contributions. Commonly found in online platforms like e-commerce sites, forums, and review systems, they collect feedback, ratings, or endorsements from users. This accumulated information helps others make informed decisions—such as whether to buy a product or interact with a user—by providing a summary of experiences from the community. Essentially, these systems strive to create a reliable metric that reflects the reliability and quality of a person's or organization’s actions and offerings.
