Can't sign up for Yelp under my zip code 90210. Yelp keeps saying "Yelp is overworked right now". I have tried every day. Does anyone know what's the problem? and they're promoting themselves in Rodeo Dr Beverly Hills events that I am invited. What an irony. I've also tried many days and with different zip codes to see if they work. I have left many feedbacks and even e-mailed their local LA e-mail address they display on their site, for fancy I guess. None have replied in a reasonable time. Guess, their business of reviews on other businesses is back on their own being "not so great". They proudly mislead by saying, "not signed up yet, we still love you"........Yeah, you're right.....Otherwise, all businesses have a better explanation on things rather than saying "Yelp is overworked right now". Maybe, they should say something that has truth in it. Whatever.....
Yelp.com "Talk" discussions are out of control. By design Yelp, Inc. encourages unmoderated personal attacks as a form of entertainment and refuses to provide any control of user "talk" comments. No action is taken when users "flag" a comment as inappropriate. Users who send personal emails to help@yelp.com do not get "helped." Yelp, Inc. SHOULD be (1) deleting threads or posts that are personal attacks and (2) deleting users who are repeatedly causing problems. Yelp would be a much better experience and more in sync with the "Real People, Real Reviews" theme if the talk threads were properly moderated. Jeremy S. (CEO) and his team continue to take a hands off approach. Too bad.
