What the badges on a judge profile tell you

The marks you can see on a judge, what each says, and what it does not.

The short answer

The signals the site describes on a judge profile are the star average and the follower count, and judges can take an optional verification step when they join. The site’s feature copy does not define a ranked set of badges, so look at the profile itself for any mark, and read it as one input, not a guarantee.

For the full walkthrough of the profile, see how to read a judge profile.

Star average

A star average says how buyers felt on balance. It does not say what they were rating her for, how many of them there were, or how recently. It is a useful first filter and a poor final answer.

The FTC’s advice on evaluating online reviews is to use multiple sources, check the dates, and be wary of a burst of reviews in a short period, which applies to a star average as much as to any other review.

Follower count

Followers tell you who is popular. That is not the same as who suits you, and it says nothing about how fast she delivers. Following a judge needs an account, and it is the simplest way to keep a shortlist.

A new judge with few followers is not a warning sign by itself. Everyone starts there, and the intro clip tells you more about her style than the count does.

Verification

When judges join, there is an optional verification step: they upload a short clip for a person on the team to review, and can skip it and do it later. That is the only verification step described, and since it is optional, the absence of a mark does not tell you much on its own.

It also stops short of what people often hope a verified mark means. A review of an uploaded clip is not an endorsement of how she will rate you, or of how quickly. Become a cock rating judge describes the sign-up flow from her side.

Combining the signals

The reliable approach is to stack small signals rather than trust one. A decent star average, a watched intro clip that matches your taste, a menu with the medium you want and a premade clip you previewed together tell you far more than any single mark.

If those line up, order. If one is missing, such as no clip you can watch, treat that as a reason to look further rather than a reason to trust the stars.

What no mark can tell you

No mark can say whether her style suits you. Watch the intro clip, and if you want more, her premade clips are linked from her profile and most have a free preview.

The location on a judge card is approximate and may be localised to you rather than showing where she is, so treat a flag as presentation. If an order goes wrong, the refund rules apply whatever marks she has, and they are in cock rating refunds and cancellations.

Marks are not guarantees

A mark describes something that happened in the past, such as a review of a clip or a run of satisfied buyers. It cannot promise the next order, which is why the refund and cancel rules matter more than any badge, and why you should read the profile as a whole.
