Abstract

Methods, systems and computer program products are provided. Methods for controlling a multiple participant communication session include identifying a current speaker to other ones of a plurality of participants in the multiple participant communication session. A speaker rating input is received from at least one of the participants that corresponds to the helpfulness of the current speaker. A speaker reputation score is generated responsive to receiving the speaker rating input. A reputation-based speaker hierarchy is generated for the participants using the speaker reputation score. A contribution signal strength corresponding to ones of the participants is regulated to be positively correlated with the reputation-based speaker hierarchy.
