<<<...but why have the rating then? What is the benefit if it just a tool?>>>
My guess would be that it would be a visual tool so that a company would enter a zip code and based on the number of bars, see whose profile they want to read first.
<<<Harry had said that you were severely penalized if you had a blank profile.>>>
Harry said that you were severely penalized for *stale* profiles - which mean old profiles. Hopefully, he will add *empty comment section* to the "severely penalized" list.
<<<NRCI bar looks so much like the ratings bar on the other hack website that has the point system. X amount of points if you pay annually, x amount of points if you do a lowball signing you receive via text. God I hope this is not the direction NR is aiming for.>>>
The discussion/complaint that brought on Harry's change was about outdated profiles clogging up the Notary Search section. Someone mentioned that they were told by a few companies that those companies no longer use NotRot to find Notaries because in the Notary Search, profiles were so outdated with listings where many Notaries were no longer in this business. This is not a new discussion as people have previoulsy requested that Harry purge and clean out old profiles. He mentioned that 12,000 letters were sent out and those Notaries that did not respond had their profiles deleted, yet some old ones still existed. I pointed out one and someone else pointed out another.
I said all that to say that, hopefully, the issue and implementation of this new system will remain about the outdated profiles and not about a point system, gaining bars by posting or having a premier membership or anything outside of having a current profile and filled-in. |
