>>Only people with a verified company email address can join your company network.

What's anonymous about that?

Thanks for your question. The email address is only used to verify that you are with the company. We'll send you an invitation code once there is quorum, which you can use to sign up for an anonymous account. We don't link this account and your corporate email. We just mark your corporate email as taken, so no one else can sign up from the same email. The unfortunate side effect is that you would not be able to recover your password in case you forget it.

Try explaining that better. There's 3 possible people that could need an account depending on how you look at it.

1. An email account to create a wall for an organization.

2. A person in that organization so they can comment about their own organization.

3. A random person that wants to comment on an organization.

I'm not sure which you're targeting.

This is for case 2. It's a wall so that people within an organization can ask questions / share opinions with others from their organization. Thanks for the clarification.

We are planning to open-source our code on github so we can get feedback on best practices.

How will you prevent companies from being anonymously slandered?

Yep, that's always an issue. There are a few things we are implementing in V1 to ensure a first line of defense against this:

1. All posts are only visible within the company. So, it's not the average internet user posting on the company wall. 2. Also, we are building community tools for voting, and marking a post as spam / slander.

We'd love to hear any other ideas that you may have.
