It's really funny that Ripoff Report is asking for non-tax deductible donations to maintain their "Free Speech platform" the fact of the matter is that the reason they are where they are is because they choose to let trolls and liars abuse their platform and refuse to remove or ad a notice that the review/report is unsubstantiated. Free speech doesn't need to be "free $$" and since they prey on people who likely can't afford a proper lawsuit that wastes everyone's time then when they actually do get a company that can. It only adds to the circus acts.

Just like they want people to pay for VIP treatment to get bad reviews looked at they should add the option to have reports PAY to also be verified. Any reports made in such a website should also be a seal of verification to make them look more legit. They can charge for this if they want to seeing as the entire website is just pretty much a troll paradise anyway, if Ripoff Report also made their numerous trolls pay for the bad slander and "free speech" even just a couple of dollars, it would greatly reduce the number of fake unsubstantiated reports being posted and they won't need to beg people for money since people don't believe a site that's known for not verifying the legitimacy of any of the reports posted on their site anyway.

I was reading their explanation of "you gonna sue us? Please don't" and it sounded like Trumper begging to be able to do whatever idiotic thing they've been getting away with since before verification was a thing online... 1998 and hasn't changed. Ripoff report needs to adapt, As they say in the world of business... "Change or Die" at this rate due to their stubbornness of the "American Dream" (of letting trolls go unpunished, aka "free speech") they will go and join defunct sites like Geocities...
