WebPhil in light of modern philosophy

Create user profiles
Continue to gather data about each user until there are rich profiles for them and the website can tailor their visiting experience specifically to them. They should be able to get on the website and immediately be able to see the most relevant content to them. 

"Unimpaired beholders"

Those that are deemed "unimpaired" either through a process of expert review (us) or by way of peer review (likes from other users) will receive special treatment. These reviewers' comments will show up at the top of comment streams and can receive some type of differentiation (a stamp, different color, etc.). 

Concept creators

Those that enjoy writing about the theories and applications rather than actually reviewing websites will be provided the opportunity. We can divide up the website into three different types of text; philosophical material, an analysis of how to apply the doctrine, and website review. These concept creators will be able to write extensively about the possible applications of philosophical ideas. 

Gamification

In an effort to keep users engaged, the website can employ the idea of gamification. It is a way to get users to continue to return to the website and to provide more information. as part of the user profiles, they can collect achievements and earn points for certain tasks. There can be some type of philosophy boot camp that users can go through and earn more points and get certified. As users contribute worthwhile comments and reviews they can earn more points.
