dotmatrix22··on Show HN: Kinda like posterous?
Hey Thadeus,

1. Interesting idea

2. We are rebuilding the home page, should have something far better soon.

3. What browser are you using? It's possible there is a bug, however on Firefox and Chrome latest editions there are 166 photos and 91 people.

4. To prevent porn from trending we will have community reporting features. I also believe we would handle this quite similar to how twitter, facebook, or flickr handle this.

5. We don't have a TOS because we threw the project up very quickly but plan on having one soon. Our TOS will aim to protect the greater good of the community.

Hey Swalsh, thanks for the feedback. We're working on a home page that helps you discover what's being posted. Stay tuned.

Hey Waleedka. I dont recall exactly whether posterous ever enabled the creation of emails like hashtags and public pages. I think the approaches are quiet different. But nevertheless, great questions.

Your personal email is never disclosed to anyone so there is no way for a spambot to ping back our users.

As for handling spam, yes it is a challenge but something we plan on doing to prevent spam is sending automatic authentication links to accounts we believe are posting a high volume in a short period of time. The authentication link will lead them back to a page that requires them to fill out a different captcha for each link.

Finally with regards to signatures, there is definitely OER software that exists that we can test out handling signatures and images inside the email itself.

Thanks Sejje, yeah I haven't spent much time on the home page yet, but hope to have something this weekend that shows you what's trending.

Hey coderdude, these are awesome points. A few things, since we pull everything into our email reactor we can run spam filters on the content sent to us, so while this wont be 100% effective we think we can scale this technology with some practice. Second, we already run malware and anti virus scans on everything sent to us, again this is not 100% bullet proof but since we're using gmail as a back end email appliance its not bad so far.
