If Warpcast was open source, what are 1-2 things you would want to learn how we do?

Open source algorithms make it easier for spammers to game.

It also makes it easier for more good actors to help improve the algorithms, making them more resilient against spammers.

Here's the algo:

1. We define a set of good users
2. We look at who they engage with, give everyone a score, anyone above score X is defined as Group A
3. Who run that again with Group A, and create Group B

How would you improve?

1. I don't need feedback on this. It's opinionated. Anyone not on it will complain. :)

2. Sum all inbound engagement.

3. Let's say it's 0.7. Are you really going to say it should be 0.65 or 0.5 based on looking at the list? :)

Ultimately, the transparency will make it easier to game and people will still feel bad.

If I were an expert, which I'm not, I would need to know more details.

For example:
Who are the initial set of good users?
How is the score in step 2 calculated?
What is the value of X?

If this were all open source, someone with enough knowledge (not me) might be able to propose tweaks that would improve the algo.
