The Reputation System
The Loop Score is a transparent metric designed to quantify reliability and trustworthiness. In a world of anonymous online interactions, the Loop Score provides a clear measure of a member's reputation within their local community.
How You Earn Points
- Verification (One-Time Bonus): ID, phone, and address verification earn you a significant starting bonus and the "Verified" badge.
- Transaction History: Every successful rental or service exchange earns you points.
- Community Engagement: Being active, responsive, and helpful contributes to your standing.
- Badges: Earn special badges for milestones like "First Rental," "Super Host," and "Community Pillar."
Why It Matters
A high Loop Score makes you more attractive to other users. If you're offering a service, it signals quality and reliability. If you're hiring, it shows you're a trustworthy payer. High scores can also unlock lower fees and premium features.
Myth vs. Fact
Myth: You need to spend money to get a high score.
Fact: You can achieve a top-tier score simply by being helpful, responsive, and verified.
Invest in your Loop Score, and you invest in your community standing. It's the modern equivalent of a good reputation in a small town.
