WallStreetOasis.com Certified Users
![]()
REMINDER:WallStreetOasis.com will now be tagging certain users with Certified Status. A Certified Member will have a star next to his/her username every time they post a comment so that users new to the site will know that the comment is being made from a reputable source.
The criteria to gain Certified User status is as follows:
- The user has proven he/she works in the specified field in their profile through e-mail verification to [email protected]. Please send your username AND password.
- The user has demonstrated superior knowledge in that specified field and given helpful advice to other users
- The user has displayed maturity, patience and a willingness to help other prospective monkeys with limited or no experience
- The user continues to display maturity and does not get into meaningless debates on school or company rankings (certification can be revoked)
Note: Under rare circumstances, users that demonstrate superior knowledge and a desire to help can gain Certified User status very quickly, while other members will have to improve their reputation with the site administrators & moderators to become certified.
If you believe you deserve to be certified and have not been yet, you can always e-mail [email protected] to make your case or just have us review your account.

This should be interesting.
This should be interesting. Some people may not see eye to eye on number 3. Thanks for implementing this WSO.

Hope that it turns out that way.

i am somewhat iffy on giving out my work email as well but am an analyst at a top 5 BB in s&T. i think this is a great concept as i know when i was going through the process it was helpful to know who really knew their stuff vs college sophomores giving out bad advice.
keep up the good work.
Agreed
Analyst at top 5 BB in IBD. Good idea, but still a little hesitant about giving out work email.
Am in the same boat as the
Am in the same boat as the above two posters, top BB in IBD. WSO, do you have any ideas about certifying those unwilling to give out the work email or do we just wait until you deem our posts worthy?
the email
providing an email with your username will make it 100x easier on me but i understand.
i will delete the email you send to me from your work account as soon as i tag you as certified if that makes you feel any better.
if not, it just might take me a while to go through a lot of the threads and be able to truly deduce whether the person is a pretender or really in the industry. I also will not just be certifying you if you can prove you work in the industry. If you are immature and your posts are not helpful / constructive then you will also not receive certification. If you haven't gotten it yet, don't think that means that I don't value your contributions. Odds are, I haven't had a chance to read your posts yet (and you haven't provided me an email).
Also, if you have a job for next year or are a summer analyst, I cannot certify you. I will only be certifying members that have been in the industry for a at least 1 year, show a good understanding of that industry and are willing to share their knowledge with maturity.
Thank you for your patience.

Great system. I'm in no position to get that magic star, but it'll help me know whose advice I can rely on.
do users in other fields
do users in other fields besides banking, such as equity research, get certified as well, or is this tag exclusively for bankers? i had several years' experience in BB research before recently moving to private equity.
also, i'm not sure if your website tracks IP's and domain names, but if it does, isn't it pretty easy to see what firms people work at? this would make it a lot easier to verify the credibility of users without requiring them to divulge their contact information.
