#22This fantastic speech by Mike Monteiro ( http://vimeo.com/22053820 ) explains how you can avoid ever having to use this site as a last resort to get your grievances resolved.

#23In an ideal world this is great but anonymously posted data only could increase problems with people posting one or many stories about others they just want to harm for personal reasons.
While self naming probably increases the chance of legal issues I think people should have the choice to say I am the person he did this to to help credibility. And if one have it all documented there should be nothing to be worried about.

#24What if this happens: I work with a difficult dev/designer for a couple of months trying to bootstap a product. In the end it's not working, we agree to go our own ways, but I keep the name of the product. For what ever reason they get shitty with me, and a month or two down the line when I'm working with someone else they post about me on 'iwasntpaid' - not just once, loads of times - they know a lot about me so the…

Really - no adverts when I visit it?

I'm on IE 7 (don't ask), so perhaps the ad is the site's way of telling me "F U"?

#26They should force the developers to put their names. That way people know which developers to stay far away from. Don't go near anyone that would post to something like this.
Re: I Wasn't Paid
#27Not the best route to handle this. Make sure you have a decent lawyer on hand (and a good contrct) when dealing with delinquent clients. Something like this will guarantee that you'll never get paid.
At what point does it make sense to involve a lawyer? $5,000? $10,000? Isn't it expensive to legally fight for your payment?

Stipulate in your contract that the losing side has to pay the legal fees for the other party. That way getting paid doesn't cost you more.

Yes, you can. You can't lose a libel suit if you're able to prove what you said is true, and it goes to decision.
I am not being pedantic. The difference between the two statements is huge, because the amount of time and money it may take you to prove your case could easily bankrupt a person.
