A controversial new site, Unvarnished, asks people to submit anonymous reviews of one another

From the NYTimes:

A controversial new site, Unvarnished, asks people to submit anonymous reviews of one another:

This “reputation marketplace”, in effect, creates a public bathroom wall for everyone on the planet—then hands its users a big, anonymous Sharpie pen.

The person being reviewed has very little control over what is written; they can not delete a review, but can offer a written response, or perhaps ask their friends to contribute more positive portrayals.
