ChurchRater. What A Great Idea?

This is a site where you can rate a church you attend or visit. In some ways it's a great idea. It allows people to post honest feedback and people who are searching for a church to get more insight into a place they are thinking about visiting. Yet it also feeds into that consumer mentality that is deadly in the wider church culture. It also allows those who leave the church to punish the church with slander. Certainly, if I was pastor and my church was on there I would pay all my friends to post good reviews. I need all the help I can get.
