💡 In simple words: On WikiDeal, taking time to leave honest, detailed feedback earns you thank-you advantages, like extra hours at a holiday flat or a small local surprise. Never money: just kindness passed around.

🎯 In 20 seconds (expert summary): Incentivized Feedback (previously presented as "Paid Feedback": renamed) means that users receive stimulations for useful and detailed feedback, never money: Miles Credits, user rights, admin rights, candidacy rights, or direct credits from providers (a late check-in, an extra night, a local experience). The mechanism is meant to incentivize quality evaluation loops. Feedback is linked to compensatory measures and is one of the missing links of trust creation in decentralized environments.

Incentivized Feedback

Innovation, WikiDeal R&D. Previously presented as "Paid Feedback": renamed, because feedback is incentivized and rewarded, not paid.

What is it?

Incentivized Feedback means that useful, detailed feedback earns incentives. The page was previously titled "Paid Feedback"; the name changed because the point is precisely that feedback is not paid. Users would receive stimulations, never money (paying for feedback would not be honest). The mechanism is meant to incentivize quality evaluation loops and continuous improvement across the platform.

Which incentives?

Miles Credits (see the Time and Resource Bank);
user rights, admin rights, and rights to be a candidate for certain functions;
direct credits from providers: an authorized late check-in, an extra night, a bottle of wine, a local cultural experience, an unplanned baby bed, more pets than announced, the loan of a vehicle. These advantages are placed in the common package.

In the beginning, providers have loyalty facilities and tools of this kind (housing, loans, and similar) to obtain more detailed feedback.

Detailed, not paid

Feedback is meant to be detailed rather than paid: it would cover soft skills in both directions, communication, understanding of instructions, handling of misunderstandings, quick solutions, fluidity, adaptation to needs.

A missing link of decentralized trust

Feedback is linked to compensatory measures. This is one of the missing links of trust creation in decentralized environments: without a central entity acting as guarantor, more documentation effort is asked from participants, but in exchange there are fewer intermediaries taking commissions along the way, because strengths and weaknesses are better documented. These motivation tools are close to the civic incentive approach.

How it works on WikiDeal

After a transaction, providing thoughtful, detailed feedback earns stimulations, keeping evaluation rates high. It pairs with the Rating Balancing Policy to keep ratings honest, calibrated and diversified. Exact rules are documented progressively as the platform evolves.
