Not really sure how that is considered as verification. Sistrunk is spending effort that does not give confidence that the reviews are based on factual events and reviewers are accountable, but that is a tough ask even for established new sites.
- laughinghan 7y agoObviously that's not verification of the factual contents of a review, but it does prevent sockpuppeting and Sybil attacks and the like. Do you really limit yourself exclusively to corroborated facts when judging things? That seems untenable; you just can't find enough information that meets such a high bar to make everyday judgment calls. They should obviously be given much more weight, but would you really plug your ears and close your eyes to unverified word-of-mouth rumors from the grapevine? This site may actually be more reliable than word-of-mouth rumors, because it can be difficult to know if it's one person with an axe to grind spreading a rumor to many, many people, or actually many people reporting the same thing.
