Two things I believe should not be part of the bar rating criteria are posting and a paid membership. The initial complaint was about inactive Notary profiles, not an inactive forum discussion. Posting should be totally optional and have no influence on the rating system. Premier membership should also not have any influence on the rating system because the point of becoming a premier member is to get a premier SPOT in one's zip codes. If this is not an issue with a Notary, they should not have a lower bar rating because if it.
The bar rating should ONLY deal with profile issues and nothing more. |
