NNA blocked me...

I was browsing the Facebook posts from new notaries on the NNA page. I replied to quite a few of the new NSA questions mentioning that they don't accept any jobs for less than $100 as it's hurting them and the profession as a whole.

Late this afternoon I received an email from a director at the NNA stating... "First off, I wanted to thank you for being an NNA member and active in our social and discussion communities. You bring a lot to the table in knowledge that others can learn from. We're glad you are active.

The reason I'm writing is that you have posted several comments on community posts prescribing a $100 fee minimum for signings. The NNA is in favor of higher fees for signing agents, however, for legal and other reasons we cannot host discussions or posts that urge others to charge a specific fee for signings. I'm afraid we are going to have to remove the posts you have made with that pitch.

All of your other posts will remain. I hope you understand, and that you continue to provide valuable context for our social community of almost 60,000 notaries."

Funny... I haven't been a member of them in over 3 years.

They are correct. We are independent contractors, you should not recommend a fee.
I don't like XWZ either.

I used to work for a big company (one of the ones in the Dow Jones Industrial Average). Every year I had to sign the company's business conduct guidelines. One of the rule is that if I was ever in a meeting with competitors and there was any comment about any sort of agreement on setting prices, I was to immediately state I couldn't be involved in any such conversation. If the discussion continued, I had to walk out of the meeting. (It turned out that I seldom went to meetings with competitors, and prices were never discussed in the meetings I went to.)

Dear PS

You are nothing by a number to them....you have no importance....

Although we all love you, they don't even know who you are. Send them your Youtube on how to conduct a signing. It's the best ever and more than they have.

That just means they don't want to hear from

the DOJ again...

They haven't blocked YOU..they've blocked any of your posts that hint at price-fixing - such as suggesting a minimum amount to be paid.
