Product review by user User Rating Category

[Tyler Polacek]

I think we need a way to have an automated rating system for review users.  The way I see it working is a user would get X number of points for leaving a review, someone finding his review helpful, and submitting a listing.  Then he can be docked points for someone finding his review not helpful.  If we did this and had a way to state X points = Casual Reviewer, Y Points = Intermediate, Z Points = Expert Reviewer.  Then in the detail listing we break down the review score into those three categories.  I think it gives people a better idea of who is saying what about a product.  On my site a get a lot of people who leave one review for a product, which usually is someone pissed off or an owner of the company.  I think this helps legitimatize certain reviews.
