Member ratings and participation

Healthocrates has a member ratings system that rewards members that are active in our community. Submitting useful information such as new articles, participating in forums, and correcting or adding to existing articles are all ways you can elevate your ranking within the Healthocrates community.

There are 3 different types of icons we use to represent our members. We have physicians, health care professionals, and general members.

Member
Health Care Professional

You are assigned to one of these categories when you create your account. You start out in good standing with one star as you see above. As you progress you will recieve more stars, up to a total of 3. A member with 3 stars is in excellent standing in the Healthocrates community. Here are examples of each member category and the different icons they can have:

Create new articles

Only Healthocrates staff may approve main page articles on our site. We do this to ensure the highest standard of real facts are presented there. We do however allow our users to submit new articles but they are reviewed by our editorial staff before they go live. For detailed information on creating a new page, see submitting a new article.

 

Point out problems

Many people get started on Healthocrates while they're reading an article and they notice a factual error or a typo. If you know how to make edits and changes, go ahead and give it a try.  If you aren't sure what to do, you can view our edit pages area.
