www.freelancesupermarket.com reviews - should I be worried?
or even better, I'd have a quiet word with the agents/agencies who are in the bottom 5, I'm sure they'll have an opinion on it...

Good point!
Just goes to show how reliable and 'safe' this site is...

The site looks like complete and utter carnage to me. Did they use a monkey to design and code this thing?
I can see how the concept could be considered useful, but the entire process is open to abuse and this undermines the authenticity of every single profile on it.
Thier sign up procedure is pants!
The Captcha utility is the worst I have come across
I have had a mate is who is actually a client try sign in and leave a reference and he can't get in because his email address is already in the system, He's never signed up before.
So I would be surprised if the service actually makes it through to xmas
Worst pile of stinking dog doo I've seen on the web. it's back to youporn for me!

Reason: mistake
Their Ts & Cs include , under Section 3 User Responsibilities:
In using the Site, you agree not to:
3.1) Knowingly transmit:
a) Any information, data, images, or other materials ("Material") that are unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libellous or otherwise objectionable or that may invade another's right of privacy;
I would suggest contacting them and demanding that they take down the review on the grounds that it is defamatory and an invasion of privacy.
Would not concern myself with or about the site, if you look the contractor ranking the number 1# has a grand total of 1 review giving him the top score 102,600, basically probably just signed up for two accounts and had the one give him all 10's
A site that ranks and reviews agencies/contractors would be a lovely thing, that would do wonders for our industry but it has never been properly done for one simple reason, it would is impossible to manage in such a way that you could know if a single rating /review was honest
