Studios Reputation Rating, Rating Members with Beers

Wrote and defined the concept.

Beer is used as a Reputation Rating where users give a beer to People, Projects, or Shots as a kudos. Users are limited in how they can get beers to give away and how they can give them away is guided.

Facebook has "Likes." Studios has Beer. You can give someone a virtual Beer as a free and effortless way of thanking them for some work or showing support for what they're doing.

The Beer each Member is allowed to give away is not unlimited. Giving someone a Beer is a special occasion and only given away when truly deserved. Each Member is issued a limited amount of beers they can give away and they are stored in their fridge.

Ways that a Member can get Beers that they can give away, Beers for their fridge

1      Get a Beer to give away for joining MB Studios (Email explaining what the Beer is and how to use the Beer they received.)

2      Level 1 Members will get one Beer for every week they are active on the site, have logged in at least once. (Notification for beer received)

3      Level 2 Members will get two Beers for every week they are active on the site, have logged in at least once. (Notification for beer received)

4      Level 3 Members will get three Beers for every week they are active on the site, have logged in at least once. (Notification for beer received)

5      For every 100 Beers you get from other Members, a Beer will be added to your Fridge that you can give away. (Notification for beer received)

6      Every time a Producer pays a Crew Member, a Beer will be added to their Fridge. (Notification for beer received included with your Thanks for Paying notification)

7      Every time a Member gets paid for participating in a project, a Beer will be added to their Fridge. (Notification for beer received included with your Congratulations you got paid notification)

Things a Member can Give a Beer to:

These are Beers they can drink and don’t get added to their Fridge. This is a reputation score based on good deeds, or congratulations for things done on the site.

1      A Member can give a Beer to another Member, but they give it to their Profile

2      A Member can give a Beer to a Comment on a Take, Shot, or Project

3      A Member can give a Beer to a Project, Shot, or Take directly

4      An Administrator can give a Beer to a Members Profile for a Good Deed, reporting inappropriate content, suggesting a stellar feature, or reporting some bugs.

Your reputation or that of your Project is not based on how much Beer you have in your Fridge, but rather how much Beer has flowed your way. Your Beer score, how many Beers you’ve received from other Members, or from an Administrator is used to measure your trustworthiness, or reputation on the site. Will this person pay me on time? Will they do good work for me? Or will they flake out? We need some way of knowing this, but we need to be careful to not create the kind of culture that exists at eBay where people are so obsessed with their feedback that it begins to take precedence in their mind over simply being a good citizen in the community.

MB Studios Beers FAQ

What’s a Beer score?

Giving Beers is a way to show appreciation good work and good deeds within Magic Bullet Studios. Members don’t give Beers to you directly—they award Beers to your work and activity. Your Beer Score is the sum of all the Beers you’ve ever received for your Takes, Shots, Projects, Comments and good deeds.

A high beer score shows other Members that you are an active positive contributor. As a Team member on a Shot you deliver quality work on time. As a Producer you can be trusted to work professionally with crew and to pay them in full and on time.

What’s the Fridge for?

Your Fridge contains the Beers you have available to share with other Members. These Beers are replenished automatically based on your activity on the site and your membership level.

• When you join Magic Bullet Studios, you’ll find a Beer in your Fridge, ready to give away.
• Artists get one Beer for every week they are active on the site, having logged in at least once.
• Producers get two Beers for every week they are active on the site, having logged in at least once.
• Executive Producers get 3 Beers for every week they are active on the site, having logged in at least once.
• For every 100 Beers you get from other members, a Beer will be added to your Fridge.
• Every time a Producer pays a Crew member, a Beer will be added to the Producer’s Fridge.
• Every time a member gets paid for participating in a Project, a Beer will be added to their Fridge.

What’s the difference between my Beer Score and the Beers I have in my Fridge?

Your Beer Score is your reputation that everyone can see. It is not based on how much Beer is in your Fridge, but how many Beers has flowed your way. These Beers were given to you by other Members. They don’t go into your Fridge and they can’t be given to other Members (because you drank them, silly!). The Fridge is your supply of beers to give to other members and can only be seen by you.

Why are Beers important?

Beers are a measure of goodwill and endorsement. Because you don’t have an infinite supply of Beers to give out it means something when you “buy someone a beer” to show appreciation for their work.

If you’re wondering whether a Producer is likely to pay on time, or an artist can deliver the goods, a glance at their Beer Score will tell you a lot.

How to use Beer?

It’s great to give someone a Beer and lovely to receive one—but as in life, Beers should be enjoyed, not abused. Allow your Beer Score to be an organic, social reflection of your positive experiences on Magic Bullet Studios. If you catch yourself trying to boost your score artificially, not only are you using the site wrong, but you’ll find your misplaced efforts will not be rewarded.
