I saw this in the classifieds recently, and think its a great idea. Here it is:
CLOSE YOUR YELP ACCOUNT AND RECEIVE A FREE MEAL ON US
We are a group of restauranteurs, concerned citizens and former yelpers who disagree with yelp’s business practices.
We ask that you:
1- remove all your 1 and 2 star reviews that you have written for other businesses (your 3, 4, and 5 star reviews can remain in place )
2- close your yelp account after you have deleted your 1 and 2star reviews.
*** In order to qualify, you must have written at least 25 or more reviews before 11/1/2012.
If you are interested, please reply to this ad and send us a link to your yelp profile.
**if you’d like to learn about yelp’s business practices and why we disagree with them, you can :
