"Anika F" has chimed in on Yelp, labeling .Org a small group of whiny cry-babies. 

Funny how so many happy Prosper users live in SF or the surrounding areas.

I like prosper.com, and have read some of the reviews below.
Older reviews show up above the new ones.  She is a liar.

Not for me, they don't.  Perhaps you can choose the sort option for the reviews.  When I see them, they are not in date order -- or any other apparent order that I can see.

at the top:

Sort by: Recent + Votes | Date | Rating | Elites'

Elites is selected by default. I guess people are given some sort of elite score based on .. I dont know, I guess I have to read their help section to find out.

They need something they can control better - maybe another Best Blog poll?  :D :D :D

Classic comment from Urbi to a poster who said they were leaving:

"Once again, we note that your threats are hollow and you come across like a sad, lonely blowhard.

I doubt anyone here gives a shit about you.  We pretty much all know that you are a vile and unethical parasite of a human being with an abnormal craving for attention."

I am not sure they they might be disappearing, but several months ago there were some articles about how Yelp had essentially a pay-fer service to companies to make less favorable reviews appear lower on the list.

Nothing was mentioned about the removal of reviews though.  I count 7 right now.  4 for.  3 against.  I didn't want to mention it earlier because I didn't want to give Prosper any bright ideas ahead of time.

Prosper missed me.  They lifted my suspension a day early.

I think the number of reviews hit 12 at some point, before the Yelp link was removed from Prosper's home page.

Would be nice if someone would ask the one good lending results lady to identify her lending account if that has not happened yet.

So Yelp actually deleted posts now?  Wow.  Yelp has grown sketchier as time goes by.

Interesting thread on deleted reviews:

If anyone ever wondered, yes there is a former Prosper employee who left Prosper to take a job at Yelp.

....

In my experience, when they delete a review, they Email the reason for it.
