Hey all! Thought I’d share my question analytics system with you guys. Right now it shows the total views your question submission has, whether it was accepted, denied or is still pending, and what percentage get the answer right on average!
If you have any questions on how I did this I’d be happy to explain it as best I can.
(This is in my quiz/ trivia game, Clueless. All the questions go through a basic moderation filter, then are manually approved by my own moderation team.)
It’s a really complex system I made over a long period of time, but following your reply I spent some time making some flowcharts to show how it works. (I like making flowcharts anyway, as they help me remember how the system works for future):
Ratings are based on a number of variables, the most important being: moderation filter, difficulty and length. A higher rating means your question will be shown proportionally more often than other custom questions.
Boosts are purchasable ‘boosts’ for your questions, they make your question get shown significantly more for the time period you specify, hence the massive difference in views between ‘Camels’ and ‘US Geography’.
I recently added a new UI for moderators, and a player lookup system. Moderators are able to change a previous moderation action (e.g. remove a declined question or vice versa) through player lookup. Log files are also stored for every moderation action.
