While I agree with you that what Harry is doing is innovative it still is subjective based on his criteria. Let's start with:
1) "If a person doesn’t feel like updating their profile (making some wonder if they are still providing notary service), it gets into the formula".
Does this mean that one would have to "change their profile" in order to get credit or just log on? If a person likes their profile why change it? If you need to just log on what's the point?
2) "If persons contribute to the knowledge of others on this forum, they get credit."
Who decides what knowledge is "good" knowledge? There are people such as Sylvia, PAW, Brenda and others who constantly give good advice on this forum and they get credit from their peers in response but there are also others who's advice is suspect at best. Do they get equal credit just because their on the forum? Does Harry look at every response to determine what is a valid contribution to the knowledge of others?
3) "If persons pay for a premier membership - it gets noticed and has higher potential"
Being a Premium member just means that you are paying for certain privileges offered by NotRot it doesn't mean you are a better SA.
4) "If it does not work, he’ll likely do away with it (he’s done so before)"
Yes that's true but in the meantime this NRCI could adverserly affect some good SA's because of low scores.
Believe me I'm not dumping on Harry! I believe he's working hard to make NotRot the best forum on the web and I applaude him for his efforts. I personally look at this site almost every day because I consider it the best. My concern is more in how this NRCI was created. Someone earlier mentioned that he may have asked companies what they were looking for before he created this. If this is true then the list should be published so that we can determine for ourselves what we need to do to improve our image to the industry at large. |
