Hey Jeff,
While I do agree with most of what you have stated, there are a few conditions that may not work with a website like TER.
Ok, let's assume for a moment that TER now requires all providers to post at least ONE picture of themselves, blurred or not.
The big question comes into play is this...
How recent is the picture? Is this picture an accurate portrayal of the provider?
That's the part where TER may NOT want to get into the "policing" the provider pictures.
I do not know the numbers of providers that are members of TER, but I surmise that number to be in the thousands.
To my knowledge, TER does NOT have the peoplepower to go through every single provider's profile to verify a picture. It can be done over a period of months or longer and the database has to be updated literally on a hourly basis due to providers changing their pictures all the time.
(on a technical side, TER would probably need a few new servers just to handle the load of keeping the pictures on the TER website)
That's my 3 cents...
