Earlier quoted context omitted.

I meant: flag it here in HN. That's what I did...

I suppose that's appropriate. HN's moderators can bring it back once they remove it and put a hold on new submissions until they fix it.

OK, we've turned off the flags now. Thanks!

Sorry for the NSFW image, it's been removed. Also temporarily removed the ability to add a station while I figure out next steps.

There is a lot of "fake" workstations: everything is so clean! No Fritos bag, no Coke bottles, no paper, no trash, ... just clean desks! Fake! lol :D

Not everyone lives like slobs ;)

How do I upload my own setup photo? I see nothing under profile or on the website itself.

Cool, but I’m sad that a picture of my “workstation” is basically just a Thinkpad.

Pfff, amateur. My "workstation" is just an iPad.

I had some trouble earlier with people uploading dumb images, so in order to upload images now, you need to verify your email address. There should be messaging at the bottom of the screen and I probably need to make that design clearer.

While I think this is cool (workstation porn :), it seems an overkill, you could achieve most (if not all) with a simple tumblr blog/account. Even NSFW upload protection and affiliate marketing. Aren't you folks tired of so many accounts?

Awesome. A feature suggestion. Add option for users to enter details of their laptop, keyboard, mouse model etc when they submit the photo. You can probably create a rank list of popular gear from this. Also can link the gear to Amazon and make some money via referral links ;)
