ushercakes··on Show HN: I made a crowdsourced hourly rate dataset for freelancers/contractors
To the person trolling me adding profane data: I feel we have a weird relationship and you have actually been pretty helpful.

Thank you for your strange ways of bolstering my security.

Im really sorry. Somebody kept posting expletives to the table so I had to force email verification as a way to protect against it. I’m thinking on alternatives to stop that kind of behavior but for now, I need to keep sign ups on

Unfortunately, there is a lot of abuse happening, one person in particular keeps adding data with N expletives. I’ve temporary blocked writes and I need to re enable forced sign in, I’m sorry all

Good point. Planning to add captcha then.

Fixed the back button, I think. Sorry all - one man show here, really not trying to be malicious and iterating as fast as I can!

Consider yourself heard, I removed the need to sign up

Please, if you are able, contribute and share your rate data! It won’t work unless people are transparent.

I promise you that it’s not. Maybe I’ll rethink this somehow, I just am trying to protect against bot traffic. Tying activity to a specific user makes it easy to ban access is all.

It is completely just a way to protect from bot traffic. I don’t think we even send a validation email. If you want, you can type in a dummy address, no worries

What do you mean by this? I don’t want to abuse the back button
