On paper WOT is a fantastic idea that should make everyone's online journey safer. Unfortunately, due to inadequate moderation in practice the system is often abused by groups who dislike a page for reasons immaterial to WOT.
For example, it is quite regular to see groups of people raid a site, providing low safety ratings to rig the score because they disagree with it on political, religious, personal belief or ideological grounds. It is likewise regular to see people provide low safety ratings on legitimate sites because they don't understand how free trials work and failed to actually read what they were signing up for.
WOT would be a far more useful security tool if it had the ability to flag/report reviews for moderation, and a clear policy that the above types of review/voting schemes were not permitted. It might likewise be useful if WOT deployed a script to flag when a website might be subject to a raid due to a large number of simultaneous negative reviews and automatically send them for moderation.
Fun site, and great way to get customer reviews but they don't seem to police bot users (scammers/spammers) doing fake reviews, if they ever fix that I can up my rating from average to to good.
