> Public shaming

Good to see lynching is still in style. Not even a pretence of allowing for good behaviour and rewarding that.

It's of course impossible to tell when people are lying since people don't apply for enough jobs to get a reputation that accounts in yelp etc get. All of which are still gamed anyway.

Lynchings after WW2 below - Perhaps they deserved it, and after so many dead what does it matter, but I intuitively feel like lynchings are bad and the way OPs web site is trying to solve the problem is far better.

Thing is the OPs site does not solve any problem, so it’s not a good alternative. Also even shaming people is tempting, I don’t think it’s a good solution either. The okayish solution is to blame companies and there’s already a lot of resources that allow that.
