A method and apparatus for providing a credibility rating and management system. The credibility rating and management system can be shared amongst any number of independent systems. The credibility rating and management system collects data points from each of the participant systems, tracks user profiles across each of the participant systems and generates a rating for each user profile. Associated systems can then query the credibility rating and management system to obtain the credibility rating for a user and incorporate the credibility ratings into their own systems.
