I was a member of Trustpilot for some years. Leaving aside the frequent bugs on the site, many of which were never fixed, the way the site is managed is appalling.
One well-known UK computer building company is renowned for threatening people who post bad reviews. People post low rated reviews and a few days later, they are often gone. I posted a 3*** review and was threatened by them with legal action. Trustpilot claim they take this behaviour very seriously, yet when I reported this company and provided solid evidence of their unlawful behaviour in the form of emails and documents, Trustpilot did nothing. They couldn't even be bothered to reply aside from an automated email saying my information had been received.
A few months later, I posted an unrelated review - very balanced and factual with no bad language or anything controversial - and two hours later received an email from Trustpilot saying my account has been suspended and, "As part of our efforts to ensure that all Trustpilot reviews are genuine, we have customized software that detects unusual activity on our platform. In this case, our software has flagged that at least one of your reviews is likely to be spam. We take this very seriously."
So there you have it. When Trustpilot-registered businesses (who pay a fee to be on there - I wonder if that has any bearing on the matter) indulge in reprehensible and unlawful behaviour, Trustpilot do nothing. But when you post a perfectly ordinary review Trustpilot takes this 'very seriously' and ban you without even contacting you first.
Zero integrity, a really terrible bunch of people.
