You get kicked from driving for going under 4.7 stars? Out of 5.0? The hell? I've taken Uber a handful of times and have always just given 3 stars if I even remember to rate them at all because what the hell 3 is average and that's how I feel about every ride I've gotten. I mean they've all taken me from point A to B and I don't really care if they're well dressed or offer me candy or anything like a lot of them do.

E: I've given a few 2s before too just because the guy just won't shut up and let me browse the Internet on my phone or play a game in peace. Oh well it's not my fault the rating system is so hosed up.

Yes, you're destroying the ratings of everyone you ride with.

It's the same with ebay or anyone else that pays attention to ratings. The customer is told that 3 stars is average and 4 is good and 5 is excellent. Meanwhile, the seller or driver is told that anything less than a 95% positive rating means they are so bad they aren't fit to be there.

Really, they ought to go with a thumbs up/thumbs down rating system, since anything less than a 5 star rating is essentially thumbs down.
