Community Jury — Keeping Certifications Honest
Spotted a suspicious photo or fake certification? Hit Dispute and the community jury will deliver a fair verdict within 72 hours.
How does it work?
Spot a suspicious certification
In the community feed you see other users' certification photos. If you think the photo is from the wrong place, taken from the internet, or from a completely different location, tap the Dispute button.
Dispute & stake points
When you dispute, you stake 5 pts. This cost helps prevent abuse. You must give a concrete reason (at least 10 characters). If 3 or more people dispute the same certification, it moves to the jury phase.
Jury selection & vote (72 hours)
Jurors are randomly selected from active users who have completed 5+ certifications in that category. They review the photo and dispute reason and vote ✅ Valid or ❌ Invalid within 72 hours.
Auto verdict & points settlement
If 3+ jurors vote Invalid, the certification is voided and points are deducted. If 3+ vote Valid, the dispute is dismissed and false reporters lose their staked points.
Points Settlement by Verdict
Scenario A
❌ Fake certification caught
3+ jurors vote Invalid
Scenario B
✅ Legit certification confirmed
3+ jurors vote Valid
