I have users in my system and I want to create a reputation system where they begin to accumulate points based on a few, simpler inputs:
I don't need it to be super complex, just functional and believable. I am seeking help both on the "math" side, but also if there are gems they do pieces of it on the user-interface and data-model side.
I would take a look at thumbs_up, I looked into it for a recent project and now wished we had used it instead of a different gem. Seems pretty straightforward.
While it's not a Rails specific book and more conceptual, I recommend the book 'Building Web Reputation Systems.' http://www.amazon.com/Building-Reputation-Systems-Randy-Farmer/dp/059615979X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1303234014&sr=8-1
Depending on what you're trying to do, lots of planning goes underneath them and the book talks a lot about the process along with other examples from Yahoo and soforth.
