For a more detailed definition of “Category Expert” please see Help section of the same name.
An expert can be believed by virtue of credential, training, education, profession, experience, life-long hobby or passions - to have special knowledge of a subject beyond that of the average person, sufficient that others may officially (and legally) rely upon the individual's opinion.
Category Experts (CE) Level 1 & 2 are essentially identical regarding their inherent knowledge base or degree of expertise.
Category Expert Level 1
I’m a Category Expert in accordance with the definition as set forth above and further validated by the information submitted within the registration pages of this web site. As such I am awarded additional points over and above all non Expert Appraisers within the TPA (valid as currency within the frame work of this website) for any transactions where points are awarded.
Category Expert Level 2
I’m a Category Expert in accordance with the definition as set forth above and further validated by the information submitted within the registration pages of this web site. However – in agreeing to become a CE Level 2 - I am agreeing to become the custodian or category moderator on those categories which fall within my level of expertise. As such I will bear the duty of scrutinizing any and all new category and associated criteria additions that fall under my jurisdiction. For this duty I will have unequivocal free use of the TPA system by being afforded free credits to use as I see fit. Credits will be allocated to my account on a recurring monthly basis.
