backlash. Those atttributes *will* be there for new reviews sometime in the future.

OpenTable says that after receiving feedback from its users, it has rolled back its decision, and old reviews will remain anonymous. However, new reviews will contain a member's first name and profile picture when the new policies go into effect.

"Following feedback from our diner community, and in line with our continued commitment to trusted reviews, we are making refinements to our restaurant reviews program," OpenTable told BleepingComputer.

"To increase transparency, on a go-forward basis only, we will no longer be supporting anonymous restaurant reviews."

OpenTable also said that the new policy would not be going into effect on May 22nd as planned but could not share more specific time frames when asked by BleepingComputer.
