Additional thoughts:Instead of making a single influence category, we break the system into different weighted categories to calculate an overall score that is simply on a 0-100 scale.This could take into account things like: a) votes, b) some average pertaining to the number of times/categories the user is deemed an expert in c) contributions to the site (inviting members, posting, participating, sharing) d) trailing time period activity level (eg 1 month), e) testimonials, f) negative factors (violating the rules, spam, times a user is flagged by other members or some other negative 'handicap')So, the most "influential" members would have a score closer to 100, while the least would be closer to zero.
