On one hand, the whole site's credibility comes into question when they do this, on the other it's the internet. It doesn't take much imagination to see that there are idiots who would enjoy posting obviously false and mean hearted reviews.

Oh yeah, the author probably doesn't have a lot of money. Most of the time, if you don't suck, people won't write bad reviews. Why sue the company rather than the author of the posting?

My wife had a problem with a local SF legend and composed a negative but not profane or slanderous review and within a week it had been removed no notice nothing it was as it had never existed.
