Reputation Patterns- Incentives & Heirarchy for users in Social Structures

Problem Summary
A person participating in a social structure expects to develop a reputation and hopes for insight into the reputations of others, but each designed model of participation and reputation embodies its own set of biases and incentive structures.

Solution Patterns include the Competitive Spectrum, Named Levels, Numbered Levels, Identifying Labels, Points, Collectible Achievements, Ranking, Leaderboard and Top X.
