SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING ONLINE MESSAGES USING VISUAL FEEDBACK INDICATOR

摘要

A computer-implemented method for managing text inputted by a user in an online communication program comprises: determining, by a processor, a reputation ranking of a user and displaying a visual indication of the user's reputation ranking in a user interface of a communication program; receiving a text input submitted by the user and using a processor to assign a value to the text input based on one or more defined rules; updating the reputation ranking based on the assigned value of the text input; and displaying a visual indication of the updated reputation ranking in the user interface. The visual indicator can be updated in real-time and serve as a means for motivating the users to conduct acceptable messaging behaviour.
