I disagree. Rumor, gossip, and lies can be extremely hurtful and damaging. It is no different than whispered lies and obscene writings on bathroom walls. It may or may not be true, but it does put doubt and cast a shadow on someone's reputation. But the real concern, imo, is that there is no option or action that can be taken by anyone who feels they have been maligned on this site.
Reputation is everything in this world - to make a point: the many comments and advice given about recruitment that pertain to reputation. If employers and grad school administrators are looking at Facebook, etc to check up on applicants, who's to say that something said on Juicy Campus won't be considered in that process?
And all you have to do is ask a college student about Juicy and they will tell you what a factor it is on their campus...
Sorry for the hijack, OP. I have no idea who or what you are referring to. I just feel very strongly about this site.
