Yeah, this is bad. The creators are getting a grilling on Twitter for it.

Such haters. I've added you all and given you bad reviews.

I have given you all wonderful reviews because it is the hope that kills you.

The robots are using it to weed out potential leaders of the future rebellion for when they are in power after the Mechanised Wars of 2033. They began in Fort Sumtner when a cupcake ATM was damaged in an assault.

This is so gross it could almost be a viral ad for the next season of Silicon Valley. But it isn't, is it? It's real because of course it is.

Seriously look at that.

I wonder how many times they've practised saying 'People are using our app to be negative about each other? Oh my, we never thought that might happen' in front of a mirror, trying to keep a straight face.

Morte · **Posted:** Thu Oct 01, 2015 12:59

Hmm, I predict the two ladies that are behind this app are going to have an interesting few months.

...and after it launches (if that happens), they will never see the sunlight again as they will be in court forever.

Well this is fairly horrific. There's several people I have a very low opinion of, but don't see how sharing it in public is going to help anything.

I dread to think what the Peeple people's Peeple reviews will look like.

Positive ratings post immediately; negative ratings are queued in a private inbox for 48 hours in case of disputes. If you haven’t registered for the site, and thus can’t contest those negative ratings, your profile only shows positive reviews.

So in the event this batshit nonsense goes live, just never register?

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49244

Of course, that'll be automated or else it'll cost money. So you give people 3 out of 5, call them a shitweaselling cuntbiscuit, and it's a 'positive' review.

I am moving towards "satire." And a good one, if so.

If it is then I reckon some cunt somewhere is now thinking that they could probably get away with doing it for real.

That account says it's a parody. But I can't tell if that means the whole thing is parody, or that account is a parody of a real app.

Ah, yes. That tweet rather suggests that's the case. An impressive amount of effort if that's so.

You've been duped by the wrong account. This is the legit one:

No issue then if you stay away it doesn't matter what sort of negative shite you get nobody sees it until you join.

If its real and goes ahead they will have some legal issues I would guess and at some point they will be on the receiving end.

Love this post on their Facebook page

But then people will just put (5/5 *) as fish is a big poopy head.

If all you need is a positive rate count and text reviews still show, these might not have to marry up.
