Yelp's review filter

It's all over the news http://www.eastbayexpress.com/eastbay/yelp-and-the-business-of-extortion-20/C... and I am glad that people are starting to publicly question the system. You watch their video and tell me why are their comments disabled? It's because they do not want to hear what the consumers have to say. They do not care. They don't want to hear the truth of what people are saying. Yelp is not necessary to spread the word thanks to youtube people can still tell the truth.

I agree with you that it's lame Yelp disabled comments on their video about filtering. I have 3 friends with small business who each had dozens of good reviews for their businesses removed from Yelp soon after they got a sales call from them and said no. Now please put on a shirt.

yelp's review filter = big bag O bullshit

I agree that their review filter is bullshit. I was writing a review of a very bad vet in my area and all of their reviews (except my new one) are gone, filtered away. I read the reviews. Several of them seem to be very valid. Even ones with which I disagree. But they're all filtered away. I assume that vet paid them off. My new vet on the other hand has a lot of very positive review that as far as I can tell are justified. But maybe he paid too. I don't know. I don't trust yelp anymore.

The filter is a pain in the ass. Thankfully you can still actually see the reviews if you click "see filtered reviews" or something tho that effect

Put your shirt on, you mincing, irrelevant queen.

I agree with you completely. A business I gave a great review went behind the filter so when I went in to read mine, I found 10 other great reviews in the filter. Yet, only 1 review was allowed to show which was the only negative review. What's even more blatant is that the negative review never did business with the company. The reviewer complained that she submitted a question to the company via email and never got a response. Hello? she never called to verify if they received the email?

The Yelp review filter is horribly programmed.
