Would you like to partner with the SRA?

No thank you, we are already partnered with 2 ranking programs.

Which ones? I know Scratch Trading Standards (if I got the name right)

I feel like it is like dictatorship if only one person decides. We should accept partnerships with voting.

That is how most business' operate. Besides, we don't want to strive to be as unrealistic as possible, right?

Yeah, using the STS service should in no way be compulsory but as Lotus said it's their loss. I'll find the banner for you to add to your FP and I'll add yours when I next have access to a computer.

Okay! The partnership is official once 24 hours have passed (they might’ve, ill have to check).

Important: if your shop would like to opt out say so now!! We’ll start ranking and rating the shops soon.

Could you tell us a bit more about your program? I would like to here the logistical bits as well as what makes yours different and/or better from others.

First, we rank shops based on nearly every factor.
Then, we give tips to shops to improve and get their rating 100.
Customer ratings are also included.
We have rules to prevent shops from trying to change their rating by editing the banner + trying to affect other's ratings + to make sure all ratings are unbiased.

front page ranking out of 100
no off-topic ranking out of 100
front page organization ranking out of 100
all customer ratings out of 100 separated by newlines (if out of 10 append a 0 at the end)

Nice! Does your program have any considerations for the type of product sold, number of orders, or otherwise?
Basically – do you rate on solely quality or do you take experience and popularity into account?

Okay, cool. How many shops are in your system at the moment? How many partner associations do you work with, and how often do your people rate and rerate shops? How long does the average rating process take, from reading comments to giving critique?

4 shops + 1 association + every one week + it differs from shop to shops

Thanks! Now that we have the facts we can discuss and will get back to you guys!

1.5.1: People who apply for things MUST accept if they don't receive a position and must not get angry

LotusLavender wrote:

In my opinion, SPA is run by hellounicorns2 and, although it is a democracy in most factors, it is up to him to make choices on behalf of SPA as in real life. For example, with the UK's Brexit, democracy decided to leave the EU but the prime minister and the government (let's think of them like carrots, me and his trusted advisors) to find the terms the UK leave by. This shows that even in a democratic country, some decisions are made on behalf of the people.
Also:

1.5.1: People who apply for things MUST accept if they don't receive a position and must not get angry

This kind of applies because it's the position of a reviewing partner.
What does everyone else think about all of this?

Sorry if I didn’t make it clear in the vote' but it’s me and Alpha’s revamped version of the Shop rAnking Program.

I guess, but I feel like that would be a little bit over the top.

Lol, thanks for helping out with that!

smileycreations15 wrote:

That doesn’t mean anything- you can’t make decisions just to benefit yourself, you make decisions to benefit the SPA and it’s shops, not just your own organisation. However, the community can help us decide whether we want a third ranking program - we won’t do an official vote but let me know some opinions and reasons below and I’ll make a final decision.

no I just meant that I was a member of SPA bc i think he was confused about as I am a member or not
