Maximum ratings a user needs before becoming a mentor

The following setting specifies the maximum number of ratings a user can have to become a mentor. The sifter uses this setting if the Preference Engine is using that mentor set. You can specify the value as one of the following:

A percentage of the total number of items in the database. For example:
```
<mentor_set_name>.max_mentor_ratings = 75%
```

The maximum number of ratings (that is, without a percentage). For example:
```
<mentor_set_name>.max_mentor_ratings = 18
```

Use the following guidelines for setting <mentor_set_name>.max_mentor_ratings:

Table 1. Guidelines for Setting the Maximum Ratings
Total Number of Items in Database	Suggested Setting
< 1000	<= 100
1000–5000	<= 500
5000–10,000	<= 1500
10,000+	<= 1500

Note: For more information on how the sifter makes use of <mentor_set_name>.max_mentor_ratings, see Maximum number of mentors assigned to each user. Parent topic: User predictability
