If glassdoor can’t protect the anonymity of its reviewers, this can’t either. There will be legal allegations of libel that will lead to one’s identity being revealed by court order or otherwise.

I also find these sites largely useless for research as only the people with extremely strong sentiment would go out of their way to add a review, meaning almost any management company with a large number of tenants will end up with bad ratings, as some portion of those tenants almost definitely will have a negative perception of the management and that portion will be overrepresented in the tally.

I get where you're coming from, but no system is perfect, right? While anonymity concerns and skewed reviews might be valid points, that doesn't mean we should dismiss the whole idea. Instead, we could work on refining the system to minimize these issues, like implementing measures to protect anonymity and encouraging a more balanced representation of reviews.

Remember, sites like this are just one piece of the puzzle when making decisions. Sure, they might not be perfect, but they can provide useful insights when taken with a grain of salt. And who knows? Maybe this website could inspire a new wave of accountability and transparency in the landlord-tenant relationship, which seems like a win to me.

Also, the common people has awful taste, and is terrible at understanding a situation from another point of view.

This is why trip advisor is so useless, at least in France.

Between the vocal unhappy outliers and the happy idiots that think those french fries coming out of the freezer were delicious, the noise/signal ratio is abysmal.

Glassdoor has a way of dealing with this that is more damning than a bad review.

Yet, glassdoor is still thriving. This is just a step forward for transparency.

Is it required to record personally identifying data?

You could even have the web browser do like a mini Tor protocol where your IP is tunneled through others currently logged in.

It’s their own fault if they say something in a review that they can’t prove.
