    It implies something that may not be true, one of the ones blacklisted insisted they were removed as they had received a review they clearly found quite offensive, we did try and convince them to stay on but they clearly felt the offence outweighed the gain. And if we only publicise the ones that 'deserve' it then it turns into a threat or vigilantism of some form. The blacklisting is meant to just quietly get rid of people who are going to detriment the whole site ultimately.

    I do think the stories behind them are amusing though, and also the fact that of 53,946 open pubs (32,156 of which have reviews) only 6 have been blacklisted.

    Sorry that was an overly serious reply to what I take was a joking suggestion, no sense of humour me

    That one was a case of us refusing to remove the review as we felt it was completely correct (in that it was factual rather than assertions) but were willing to pass on his concerns to Farway, he clearly couldn't wait and we ended up agreeing to blacklist him instead.

    Edit: Did I ever forward on the rant Farway? It was a work of comedy gold, and we did have permission.
    Yes Conrad you did forward the rant

    For the curious, I reported it had a small car park & steps down to loo [this was during time wheelchair access was in discussion on forum], both factual, especially as I nearly fell down said steps due to too much "reviewing" that day

    The landlord did not object to my reporting the appalling service, go figure as the Yanks say
