Idea: Yelp, but for people

It was not obvious.

Stoking anger, doxing, prejudice, hatred, canceling, and retaliation, are not healthy and do not promote a healthy discussion.

The PP showed a severe lack of humor or playfulness in taking a light-hearted thread in the Off-Topic forum far too seriously. I do enjoy a dose of crazy in my DCUM commenters, however, and the sanctimony in this comment does have a certain air of "I monitor my coworkers bathroom visits" to it. Two stars. I don't recommend, but if you're bored, this commenter might stoke some annoyance that will entertain you during your commute home.

This PP kept things short and sweet, always appreciated in silly threads meant entirely for entertainment value. No one was looking for advice here, so keeping it short was the right choice. However, I'm deducting several stars for being trite and predictable. "Work on yourself" is beaten only by "Get therapy" on my list of tired DCUM clap backs. Next time try something livelier, like accusing the OP of having a lesser known personality disorder, or use humor by implying the OP has cracked open the Thanksgiving wine a few days early. Three stars.

I guess you've never heard of the dirty dot com. Absolutely insane what was shared on there.

I have always wanted such a site that I could vet guys on (who has cheated? Is controlling?).

Flame away.

Probably both.

+1. This thread is supposed to be funny! And it is. By the way, I can think of 3 people that I have dealt with over the years that would only merit 1 - 2 stars, and I am 100% confident that others would agree with me. One of them is a client I had to fire and one was a crazy boss.

I want this for DRIVERS, report license plates of people speeding and weaving dangerously in and out of traffic, laying on their horn etc. to police and/or insurance companies and if enough people have negative reports there are consequences

However, this thread was prompted by an interaction with a person who I feel confident would get a "consensus" vote for zero or one star from pretty much everyone who interacts with them, and it would be deeply satisfying for us all to be able to recount our frankly insane interactions with his person in a public forum. I think the screen shots of text and email exchanges with them, alone, would tell a story.

Like when you look up a restaurant on Yelp and all the photos are of the rats and roaches people spotted in the establishment, and every review is like "these are the rudest, least helpful people I've ever met and the food was inedible."

It would just be useful for other people to know.

Why do you think anyone needs to know that? How is your experience and interaction with that person is going to influence my interaction with that person?

Would you be openly posting your reviews and giving the other party an opportunity to respond?

No, it’s not funny to joke about anonymously ruining reputations and professional careers based on arbitrary measures. My psychopathic ex used to make lots of “funny” jokes too and I’d try to laugh it off to be a good sport. I won’t anymore. THIS IDEA IS NOT FUNNY!

China already does this. You could just move to China.

Lady, I'm not your ex. This is an actual joke and it's not about you, personally. It's about the general idea that sometimes I wish I could "review" people I encounter because "1 star, do not recommend" is a sick burn. You are personalizing this to a level that is unhealthy and my best advice to you is to take a little break from the internet.

You are really harassing me pre-holiday giddiness.

Nah, a website for this wouldn't work. By the time you looked them up, you'd already know they were a bad driver. We need some kind of scarlet letter for crap drivers. Like once you have a certain number of traffic violations, and car you drive has a glowing red dot over it so that we can all (literally) steer clear.

Lady, the fact that you think it’s funny to review people shows what a truly awful person you are. Sorry if someone on the internet is pointing out how devoid of any goodness your soul is. I’d worry more about that than pre-holiday giddiness.
