"WOT is a fraud, a scam."
Version: Web of Trust for Firefox 20120302
Pros
No pros - run - it's an extortion racket. They use lies and slander to attack legitimate sites, even Ministries and orphanages.
Cons
It's a scam. They ruin reputations so that they can sell back reputations - it's extortion.
Summary
Ostensibly they seem to have a good purpose, but that's an illusion. Dig a little deeper and you will find a money making racket that maliciously damages and destroys legitimate sites and people. I complained about their lies and slander and was banned. The same story thousands have.

"MyWOT is Biased. Bad sites rated good and vice versa."
Version: Web of Trust for Firefox 20120302
Pros
No pros to write here.
Cons
1) Mass rating system. One platinum member can turn a website reputation down from Green to RED!. People rating websites are not customers to write reviews.
2)Some users attack businesses to sell back the Green (good) reputation to that business at a fee.
3) No customer service to complain the fraud.
4) Rude staff when you report the problems to them
5) Any one rate MyWOT on their own website scoreboard will get banned from their website and the comment will be removed. Serious ethical issue.Summary
MyWOT is false, corrupted and fraud like. Should not be trusted.

Pros
Free to users
Multi Browser compatible
User driven reviews
Prevents malware infections before they happen
Best thing since sliced breadCons
None so far in 4 years of usage.
Summary
The only folks who dislike WOT are the damn marketers who use inappropriate methods and malicious content to data mine and spam you, or sell your info. WOT is the before antivirus prevention to protect users while browsing, shopping, or downloading anything online. Will continue to recommend WOT to anyone who asks my advice for safer internet browsing.

"Rico Racket
WOT and FaceBook potential Rico litigation"Version: Web of Trust for Firefox 20120302
Pros
N/A There are no pros to this organization.
Cons
There is suspicion and accusation that WOT and/or its members (platinum level) offer solutions to remove bad ratings for a fee. WOT offerings to pay to play, those that publicly criticize these practices get banned and other similar activities are consider by law as extortion, bribery, racketeering, mail and wire fraud. The fact that FaceBook is in a partnership with and utilizes WOT services may also implicate FB with the same or similar charges.
These are serious charges and if proved in court could land the defendants huge rewards therefore the motivation to pursue a class action RICO case suit is there, as well as criminal charges. The SHTF is coming. And FB has real deep pockets.

Start documenting everything, investigate, probe, build a witness list, etc. in preparation for the inevitable litigation that this potential and possible Rico organization has formed.
