That sucks, really. You know what, there are people who are just happy to bring a business down in the name of so-called "justice".
Let's take websites, for example. People are happy to report to Google for TOS violations (too many links, don't like the content, hate the author, too many ads, etc.) and get the websites penalized by Google. For what? Happy to serve in the name of the online community? Hmm...
If you don't like it, just don't visit it. Let the quality itself decides the survivability of the websites.
Just a rant :)

Agreed. Unfortunately, from a business-person standpoint, I can't see any ways to react to slander, etc. posted on consumer sites. We can clarify things, but the bad posts are there and by all means will not be removed (especially on Ripoff Report). One way that I know is to push the bad reviews down from search engines (reputation management). Any ideas?

I understand what you mean. Unfortunately, people would do that under the umbrella of "Internet freedom" :/ Of course, everything must be viewed on case-by-case basis. It's tough to be a lawyer for Internet-related lawsuits these days...

I'm always believing that the latter is the case :) But to see through the mist, I agree that nobody should sue someone over what they post on consumer services, community sites, social media sites etc. Because if they could, that would be the end of FB, Twitter, etc.
