They screwed me bad, ripped me off, and destroyed my credit. I was just hoping to warn others about these jerks. Apparently yelp is not a good place to negatively review a business.nothingtoseeherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10283165640852947243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21129017.post-12768593511887724682008-12-20T14:01:00.000-08:002008-12-20T14:01:00.000-08:00Yes, I've been censored by Yelp for leaving a POSI...Yes, I've been censored by Yelp for leaving a POSITIVE review of a salon, whereas only the negative reviews have been left up. It's incredibly conspiratorial--it's almost as if they're targeting this business and gunning for negative reviews.

We're developing a streamline message board where you can search for a particular local business and leave them a question, suggestion, issue, praise, or discussion. The business owner can now sort by these categories and reply back to their customers. What do you think? Let me know if you want a private invite to our site?NickLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09825157178856279036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21129017.post-20846003154140802562008-12-08T17:16:00.000-08:002008-12-08T17:16:00.000-08:00Hi Nick!I think it would be useful, but it would r...Hi Nick!<BR/><BR/>I think it would be useful, but it would require a third party site to bring the Yelp! complainee and the business owner together since Yelp! has no interest in doing that.<BR/><BR/>Though as it is, a business owner can become a Yelp! user and contact reviewers to try and ameliorate problem which has been done by some owners with mixed success.<BR/><BR/>Which I guess is a long way of saying, a website like the one you propose sounds like a great idea, I just wonder if there are enough critical reviewers who WANT restitution (as opposed to just wanting to be shrill) and enough restaurants who would offer it.<BR/><BR/>This is why sites like Chowhound are in some ways superior. Since they're message boards, negative reviews can be countered and inaccuracies can be corrected. <BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for reading Nick! I really appreciate it.David J.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10674549768577714570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21129017.post-55676692649568600822008-12-07T16:05:00.000-08:002008-12-07T16:05:00.000-08:00Hi!I've been following your Why I Hate Yelp posts....Hi!<BR/><BR/>I've been following your Why I Hate Yelp posts. Wouldn't it be more conducive for businesses to engage all those bad reviews left by customers? For example, a customer posts a problem on a thread. The owner then reads that thread, and posts his/her reply to resolve that problem. If you look at a site like getsatisfaction.com, it's a great way for corporations to understand what their customers want. What if there was a site like getsatisfaction.com and yelp.com combined? Do you think it would be useful?NickLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09825157178856279036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21129017.post-70155868543663229542008-12-06T09:47:00.000-08:002008-12-06T09:47:00.000-08:00WORD.WORD.charlie w.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01688281522154517190noreply@blogger.com
