Yelp Sucks

Just received my ballot for this year for Orlando! Just curious, is your city doing them?

While I think most restaurant owners would consider it a negative review, I consider three stars a positive review. For me, my star ratings are reflective of how likely I am to patronize a business again; a three-star isn't a place I'm necessarily rushing back to, but I'd definitely return, especially if they do something really well, whereas a one or two-star review means I'm probably never going back.

I saw this article that restaurant getting caught by Yelp on manipulating reviews and having a consumer alert on their business page will decline their foot traffic? If I see a place that has an alert or notice on their Yelp page about review manipulation then I would avoid them for sure. Would it affect your decision to visit or use the business as well?
