I see that there is a link to CEAS. One of the papers caught my eye,
http://ceas.cc/2008/papers/ceas2008-paper-33.pdf. Since credence is a
reputation system and Repuscore is too (what the ceas paper is talking
about), and at the risk of beating the subject to death, I'd like to
focus on the attributes of a reputation system and why folks think
these attributes are important.

For instance, in the CEAS paper, they modified the calculation for
reputation to include volume (yet the outcome was the same as far as I
could tell) and the desire to have reputation be slowly gained yet to
be able to fall quickly.
