Abstract
Techniques are described for a networking system to provide validated reviews of service providers. In some cases, the networking system may include different classes or tiers of user. In some implementations, only users that are licensed with a board may be able to review, comment, or rate the service providers.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a networking platform, a registration request from a first user, the registration request including validation data associated with a credentialing service;
- determining based on the validation data and certification data associated with the credentialing service that the user is a licensed with the credentialing service;
- registering the first user with the networking platform as a first class of user;
- receiving, at the networking platform and from the first user a request, a request to register a second user;
- receiving service data from the second user;
- registering the second user with the networking platform as a second class of users based at least in part on the service data;
- determining at least one metric associated with users of the second class;
- selecting the second user based at least in part on the at least one metric;
- and
- publishing at least a portion of the service data in response to selecting the second user.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a first registration request from a first user, the first registration request including validation data associated with a credentialing service;
- determining based on the first validation data and first certification data associated with the credentialing service that the user is a licensed with the credentialing service;
- registering the first user with a networking platform, the first user assigned to a first class of user with the networking platform based at least in part on the validation data;
- receiving a second registration request from a second user, the second registration request including service data;
- registering the second user with the networking platform, the second user assigned to a second class of users in response to determining the second user lacks validation data, the second class;
- assigning the second user to a first category based at least in part on the service data;
- receiving first rating data associated with the second user from the first user;
- selecting the second user based at least in part on the first rating data;
- and
- publishing at least a portion of the service data in response to selecting the second user.
