    All,

    Was thinking of starting the above website, basically an exact copy of ratemyteacher.com but instead with our TD's & politicians.

    Think it's time something like this was done so we can all see what each TD is really like & how good they are at their job / role.

    Perhaps they'll take their job more seriously when they'r being rated.

    I am wondering what the legal implications are for this ?
    Can anyone tell me if possible ?

    I could probably see them trying to take it down once it went up, then again I'd probably just host the site in Russia, then they have no power over the site.

    Anyway - What does AH think about this, do you think it's a good idea ??

    There are a couple of links in google if you try ratemytd.com or ratemytd.ie but no websites have been started with the links I found anyway.

    Thoughts ?

    look at what happened to ratemysolicitor.

    It wont end well, people from parties will just slate others etc... it'll be a disaster


    Do it, it'll be a trainwreck

    Everyone will give them a shít rating as that is the done thing. The only positive comments will be from friends, family members, and loyal members of the party. It will end up being a complete clusterfúck of defamatory comments and misguided opinions.

    dont limit it to just TD's have a section for rate my county counsillor & rate my senator too

    Yeah the domain is already registered with Digiweb. You'll need to buy it off them. Could we just harass them via email/snail mail/picketing like we used to? What's with this lazy keyboard warrior attitude? ROW ROW FIGHT THA POWAH!

    Might be interesting to have a site with the details of each TD, what expenses they've claimed, how many days they're in the Dail each year, what way they voted on issues in the Dail etc...

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,037 ✭✭✭Nothingbetter2d


    just use rate my irish politician instead

    categories should include

    1. Expenses Abuse
    2. Actual work the politician does
    3. Attendence record for Dail meetings
    4. Corruption
    5. Broken Promises / Lies Meter
    6. Party they belong too

    Be interesting to see how well Sean Sherlock would do on such a site.

    Go the whole hog and create a ratemypublicservant.com

    Didnt get that pothole outside your house fixed?

    Didnt get as much as you thought on your tax refund?

    Didnt get that liver transplant?

    :D

    Can I start a Ratemythread website?

    Its high time some feckers know what we think of their threads and their polls and their pubic hair/penis size/recesssion/conspiracy theory/city vs rural mad cap notions

    I was thinking of starting a "rate my ratings web-site" website. Only web-sites with good ratings on my ratings web-site could give meaningful ratings on their ratings web-sites. What do ye think?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,518 ✭✭✭matrim


    I think contact.ie has a rating section
