positive Credibility: your Credibility at any time is equal to (Total Number of Thumbs up) minus (Total Number of Thumbs down) on your conributions.

How to earn Community Credits

Write insightful reviews:

Why credits for reviews?

By sharing your views on a particular movie/restaurant/cafe/hotel, you would be doing a great service to fellow OnYoMo users in helping them make better decisions. And thus the small token of appreciation for your effort.

How many credits for reviews?

5 Credits + Number of "Thumbs Ups" your review garners. Eg, if your review is found useful (Thumbs Up) by 10 people, then you get 5 + 10 = 15 Community Credits.

Will I get credits for bad reviews?

Most likely Not.OnYoMo algorithms validate your reviews and eliminate any junk reviews. Further, if your review is inaccurate or inappropriate, others in the community could mark your review to Report Abuse. When that happens, your review is inspected for validity and eliminated if found invalid. Abusive reviews might cause termination of your account.
