"At Cre8asite Forums, it's suspected that http://Yelp.com's employees may even have a hand in writing bad reviews for local businesses to encourage them to purchase into the paid program. "

I think they should charge to remove talk posts.  They'd make a killing from people realizing their drunken posting might get them in trouble at work.

It doesn't even have to be money. Lets say for example they banned a certain person that writes phony reviews for his own moving company and trolls the talk forum I''d give yelp a five star review today!
