Content Scoring System

In part 1 of our content webinar series, we talk all about how we "score" the content on Hometalk on a scale from 0-2. Here's a handy guide for what each score means:

This kind of post will essentially get hidden from the site

"Buy this thing"

Spam

Examples: recipes, clothing, body care etc...

Non-home & garden content

Examples: only 1 photo, don't know what was done, not inherently useful

No useful information given
