How reliability scores work on GTAFriends
5 min read
Reliability scores on GTAFriends summarize verified session attendance over time. They’re a signal, not a personality judgment: built from post-session check-ins.
What the score represents
After eligible sessions finish, hosts and players complete a quick check-in. Those outcomes feed counters on your profile, which roll up into a percentage-style score. Everyone starts from a fair baseline so a single rough week doesn’t permanently label new players.
Why verification matters
Without verification, LFG platforms devolve into vibes. Tying updates to completed check-ins keeps the signal aligned with sessions that actually happened, not lobby trash talk.
Joined vs attended
“Joined” means you committed through the check-in flow for a verified completion; “attended” means the group confirmed you were present as expected. Skip check-ins and that session may not move your numbers: fill them out honestly so the record stays accurate.
Tips for hosts
Be explicit about start times, mic needs, and cuts so players can self-select. Afterward, complete verification promptly so reliable teammates get credit: it improves matchmaking for the whole community.
FAQ
- Is the score a guarantee someone will show up?
- No. It’s a track record from past verified sessions: useful signal, not a promise. Life happens; use chat and clear start times to reduce surprises.
- How is the percentage calculated?
- After eligible sessions complete with group verification, we compare attended vs joined counts. New accounts start from a neutral baseline so one bad day doesn’t define you.
