Abstract :
In this paper, we examine how editorial feedback for an online community is taken into consideration by users when they contribute in the future. Analyzing server data from the online peer-production game community Sploder, we looked at how editorial feedback supported future content production. We found that receiving editorial feedbacks are likely to improve the quality of the contribution and reduce the amount of spam in the post. Editorial feedback will garner more comments and visits on articles.
