A reputation management system assigns reputation scores to various types of entities including, but not limited to people, products, advertisers and merchants. A reputation function is based on a directed graph including the reviewers and the reviews. The nodes in the graph represent the reviewers and the reviews and the links in the graph represent the ratings. Ratings may be negative in nature so the links which may include negative values which must be accounted for in the reputation function. The reputation function is iteratively solved until a convergence condition is met. Prior to convergence, when a stability condition is met nodes with negative reputations are removed from the reputation function.
