As I see it, if an article gets a bad rating, and is improved, even if it is given nothing but 5 star ratings and becomes a FA, depending on the amount of bad scores, this could effect the articles credibility.

If only staff can see the score, they can investigate and respond to the issue by handling it themselves or sending an expert. The trade off it that only a few people can see the score, taking away some of its importance.

Both methods have merit, and we will of course go with community consensus on that matter.
