This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

OpenTable won't add first names, photos to old reviews after by G.K.Chesterton

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.
