A self-adapting classification system ('SACS') generates an evolving classification for content. The classification may start with a seed review process, which generates a level of trust for initial reviews of the content. Once the seed review is completed and distributed, users may submit content reviews to the self adapting classification system. Using the SACS, users may identify themselves with one or more community groups, which indicate certain shared values and preferences with respect to other members of the same community group. Content reviews received by the SACS may comprise a user identifier pertaining to the submitting user, a content descriptor and an associated classification.
