What is Done
For Racinghub.Net we created a graphic template, content management system, back-end engine, database design and unique tag system which allows us interconnect every database item, every website page, every user action with each other.
Features
Tag system is the general feature of the website. Since everything is linked together there is no way for information to be lost. In addition, media data such as photos, videos and comments could be shared and additionally tagged.
To ease website maintenance process and involve its users even more, we created a user reputation system. This allows website administration to grant different rights to users, depending on their reputation numbers. System records every user action and awards reputation points. Those points can be in positive and negative numbers.
Low user reputation leads to certain action restrictions starting with disabling user ability to comment and ending up with user ban. High user reputation allows users to participate in different contests and community development.
