Why The GORB? Help us build a better world! The GORB is an online community of professionals where real life reputations are be earned and viewed by others. We accomplish this by collecting personal and professional opinions from our members and use them to drive the dynamic GORB Scoring System. Our unique social network allows members to reveal, discipline and reward the good and bad conduct of others while openly evaluating each others online reputation. Our Marketplace Very few people escape this truth. The professional marketplace in general is inefficient when it comes to distributing information about a person's reputation. Many of us often make daily decisions based on relatively few inputs, some which are poorly validated. When these decisions begin to form the basis for our perceptions about others that we don't know, it should be no surprise that there's a hit-and-miss nature to this "off-line" system! On the other hand, many of us also use people that we know very well as references to gather information and make decisions about others. The GORB aims to leverge reliable professional references and personal opinions to provide a balanced and widely adopted "online" rating system, that allows us to gauge the reputations of one another. Accountability The GORB combines anonymity with accountability. If you provide an anonymous opinion about another person, and if the community around that person accepts your opinion as fair and balanced, then your reputation as a fair and objective person will be enhanced. However, if you offer an opinion that is too positive or too negative, and the community rejects it, your reputation will suffer. With our system, the truth will come out as opinions accumulate and are validated over time. We believe that most of us will have a positive score, but we also realize that sometimes it's harder to identify someone with a good reputation than it is to come across someone with a bad one. At The GORB, we'd like to change that! * Why GORB
