Why should I add my valuable contacts to Jigsaw?

Can I add contacts anonymously?
Yes. The screen name a member creates at sign up is the only item marking their actions in Jigsaw. There are a couple of exceptions, which are explained in the Jigsaw Terms of Use. This is done solely to comply with legitimate requests of a legal or law enforcement nature.
What if I get a bad contact?
Most contacts in Jigsaw are accurate. This is due to the collaboration between Jigsaw and its community of users. If you happen to find a bad contact, simply update or challenge it and get your points back. If the contact is indeed, less than perfect, whoever added it will suffer a penalty of 10 points. This promotes a self-correcting system. Jigsaw has patents pending on the technology that makes this system possible.
