Well it's about time. I received this email from the staff at yelp stating my account has been closed. I was kind of wondering how long it would take for me to get banned. To my surprise it took quite a long time. I must have verbally assaulted/pissed off so many people there. I guess the good folks at yelp finally had enough. I must say though the staff at yelp are pretty lenient. I've been banned from so many online communities and it's usually very fast. I guess people from San Francisco are much more tolerant.
Some members of yelp expressed interest in reading my reviews. In the next couple of days I will be posting up my old yelp reviews here on this blog since the reviews aren't on yelp anymore due to the account closure.
Below is the letter I received from a gentleman by the name of Kris. Kris is a staff member at yelp at he was charged with notifying me of the unfortunate actions that had to take place.

There are a good number of Yelp users that were sad to see you go. There's actually a thread started up discussing your departure.
ReplyDeleteIf it was your goal to get kicked out, well, at least you went down in a blaze of glory and made a few people laugh (with you, not at you)
