Peeple - Yelp for People

[red321]

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/09/30/everyone-you-know-will-be-able-to-rate-you-on-the-terrifying-yelp-for-people-whether-you-want-them-to-or-not/

 

When the app does launch, probably in late November, you will be able to assign reviews and one- to five-star ratings to everyone you know: your exes, your co-workers, the old guy who lives next door. You can’t opt out — once someone puts your name in the Peeple system, it’s there unless you violate the site’s terms of service. And you can’t delete bad or biased reviews — that would defeat the whole purpose. (side note...later in the article they seem to say that you might be able to contest "bad reviews", and "bad reviews" won't show up unless you opt-in initially).

 

 

 

I'm sure this will go swimmingly

Oh look, more chicken shit people on the interwebz.

[Tank]

what's the purpose of something like this? how does this make life better for anyone except the cowards who hide behind their keyboards?

 

this has the potential to be incredibly destructive.

The guys running the site will need security and will live looking over their shoulder if they get any backlash like the founder of ripoffreport has experienced.

[Schildog]

This is not good news for me.

 

 

Positive ratings post immediately; negative ratings are queued in a private inbox for 48 hours in case of disputes. If you haven’t registered for the site, and thus can’t contest those negative ratings, your profile only shows positive reviews.

what's this about?

That was one of the items I was referring to, which didn't seem to mesh with the initial lede of the article...though it doesn't make it clear if that is referring to just the review, or the entire rating.

We had this back on the old Angels OMB.  It was called the Gold Star Club.

I'm going to save you all the trouble of looking me up on a review site. I'm an asshole.

It pissed off Lee to no extent.  It was so much fun.

[gotbeer]

So if you don't sign up.  You only get positive reviews.  Which is understandable, because they would open them up to defamation suits.  And if you do sign up, then any asshat can give you a negative.  And on the interwebs, nobody is that vindictive.  

 

So the purpose of this site is?

[ABC]

what's this about?

 

I've dealt with this dude directly. Insane character:

Lee was the best

[ten ocho recon scout]

I miss those lee days. I was lare to the party, so never chose sides (never knew why everybody hated him), but there were some funny back and forths with him and the old crew

[Blarg]

I think every slander suit should involve the owners of the site because they were accomplises in the crime. Just slam the door on this McCarthistic shit.

The only hope for this site is some of the most sarcastic positive reviews you've ever read.

Anyone know how to prevent people from posting on the comments on a comapny facebook page? I know how to prevent people from posting on our page just not comments on our posts.

 

 

Julia Cordray would be one of the founder's of Peeple.
