Many restaurants have claimed that yelp has offered to remove negative reviews in exchange for money. Some also suspect Yelp of writing those negative reviews.
- timr 12y agoLots of people "claim" lots of things that aren't true. What proof do you have, other than unsubstantiated rumors?

I am aware that "I'm only asking questions" can be used to cast unwarranted doubts, but in this case the accusers are reputable and numerous enough that I think we should not pretend they don't exist.
