MEMBER RANKING SYSTEM

 What is the ranking system?

 The ranking system is the evaluation of member profiles based on certain criterion.

Each criteria has requirements that must be fulfilled. The importance placed on each criterion is defined by a (*) star value. The successful completion of a profile allows members to gain stars and increase their rank.

 Why have a ranking system?

 At Toboc we care about the quality of information that our members receive. Implementing the ranking system encourages all members to fill in their profiles as meticulously as possible, and thus ensures information quality.  

The system which is measured by stars will be able to advise members on how much detail that company has provided.

The ranking system helps build trust between future business partners, a company’s willingness to share information directly reflects on their ranking.

 How does it work?

 Stars are distributed throughout several criterion. If answers are satisfactory the member receives stars that increase their ranking on the site. Members are free to return and upload material as it becomes available to them.
