I recently spoke with a guy working for one the search engines, who is
working on automatically determined forum personality profiles. They
want to weight certain posts higher or lower in query returns,
depending on the "personality type."
The idea is this: most forums have dominant participants--those who
post more than others, and those whose posts get responded to by
others. There are several things to look at:
For this frequent poster, what is his or her ratio between original
thread starts, created by that frequent user, to posts that follow up
to posts created by others. Frequent posters who seldom offer
original thread head contributions (who only respond to headings
created by others) are flagged as possibly suspicious. If the ratio of
phrase patterns in those follow up posts contain an above average
ratio of well-known angry or aggressive phrases, that personality's
influence is discounted.
If that frequent poster has a high ratio of original thread head
offerings, he or she is flagged as a possibly important and positive
influence. If others follow up to those original offerings, with
posts not containing a higher than normal ratio of well-known angry or
aggressive phrase groups, then that frequent poster is confirmed as a
personality of importance, whose posts are moved up higher in keyword
search result groups.
