September 2007 Changes to KYT Rating System
We have made the following changes to our ratings:
- Eliminated Number of Listings: There are too many discrepancies
in the way clubs gather membership numbers. Some have multiyear membership
offers, some do not remove expired listings, some include rentals etc. With
no mathematical formula available to even the field, we have decided to eliminate
this category. We still will list, to the best of our ability, the estimated
number of listings on our review and database.
- Eliminated Communication: Although we found this category of interest initially,
the communication term was misunderstood by many of our users. We meant to
let users know about how well the club communicated with its members, but...
In lieu of this we have:
- Added Contact Information: How easily a member can get a hold of the club
administrators is important. A legitimate business should publish name, address,
phone number and email contact information.
- Added Ease of Use: This is mainly addressing how easy
it is to navigate around the site and find what is important to you.
