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 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.

This is all great feedback! BTW, if you have any ideas or ways to combat future issues like these would love to learn from you.

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.
