Said the spider to the fly.
Heh. I’m just curious, and the answer might affect my decision whether to use something like this, but you have a point.

> This is a repost of a banned submission: Wrong. It's a repost of a flagged submission that was flagged due to the nature of its name and reposted. The real hacker community loved the podesta pizza name. HN not so much so I renamed it to Hacker Spring! Good find though! Keep it up Sherlock! :)
We don't look at this as a moral issue, by the way. It's just necessary if HN is to achieve its original purpose, which is to remain interesting as it grows. The alternative is to burn to a crisp, and we'd prefer not to:

Can you please not post in the flamewar style to HN? We're trying for something different than that here, and we need you to get on board with the intended spirit of the site in order for that to work: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html .

There was a service a while back - I cant recall what it was - but it would send you a question via email asking what you did today and you would reply to it and it would keep a history... I cant recall what that was now though. I really like this though. --- Custom URLs? I am going to try this right now. What happens.... WAIT A MINUTE. HOL' UP. SOMETHIN AINT RIGHT. This exposes your email to anyone on Hackerspring.…
If you want it not to show up in your user view and only with a link, you can send to tech.linkonly@hackerspring.com.

No need to get defensive. You have basically created a spam attractor for non-technical users by saying that this is suitable for “Grandpa and Grandma” and making them a lot more vulnerable to email scams. Writing in one’s voice doesn’t need to have an email address attached with it. I can understand using the person’s name. You could do better by not displaying the email address or obfuscating it. Or you could remov…
This isn't defensive. I'm simply stating that anonymous posting is different from named posting. That said, I will be adding a way to do anonymous posting and unlisted posting today. :-) Thank you for your suggestions!
If you want it to be visible with a link only and not even show on your user page, you can send to anytopic.linkonly@hackerpsring.com.
Anonymous posting is coming next!

Unlisted posting is complete. If you send to topic.unlisted@hackerspring.com (or anytopic.unlisted@hackerspring.com) the post will not show up in new/popular/categories. However, it will still show up in your user view. If you want it to be visible with a link only and not even show on your user page, you can send to anytopic.linkonly@hackerpsring.com. Anonymous posting is coming next!
That way the users email is hidden with an anonymous alias. But people can still reply to that alias email.

And while happily displaying the sender email publicly, it gives no indication that someone has embedded (potentially malicious) javascript in a post (why that is even allowed is another question), or that some expected 'blog posts' are actually unexpected redirects to external sites that can contain even more malicious/illegal content. Leaving aside that a site like this is so wide open for abuse of all kinds it won…
This is silly. Does google tell you if a site is using JS? Does HN? What "abuse" is available? Also, it's been more than 5 minutes. Looks like you are wrong.

I still believe your site is harmful to users unless the default is publishing with just the name and no email address, with an option of publishing with the email address if someone really wants to. The current defaults seem inverted.
I’ll stop with this comment since I’ve said enough.

Named posting doesn’t need to expose one’s email address. You could just use the name. That was my point. There is no need to expose anyone’s email address to the world, be they technically knowledgeable people or otherwise.

If people wish to expose their name and email, they can include an email signature!
Edit: If you already posted, this page was already archived so you should create a new e-mail address if you want to be pseudoanonymous.
