Canada-Complaints.com sets forth a reasonably respectable homepage and site policies. Furthermore. the site does require account registration in order to post complaints. While these factors are only limited in their effectiveness in stopping false and defamatory attacks, they do have the effect of increasing the apparent trustworthiness of the site. Unfortunately, malicious users can cloak themselves in the trust signals and then post false reports that can damage an individual’s or a business’ reputation. For an individual, a damaged reputation and online footprint can lead to an array of problems ranging from social issues to school and work problems.
