Sorry about the incredibly immature response you got to this. I suppose this is how some people really are when they can be completely anonymous. But it also highlights a problem that you should solve. Making someone submit an email and verify with it when posting (a la craigslist) would probably alleviate some of this and give you something to ban. Also, I'm not sure how this persuades people away from craigslist, T…

Thanks for your feedback. I'm working on the moderation right now.

Regarding Craigslist and others: the idea behind Haltura is that it must be _extremely_ simple and easy to use and still provide some value to its users.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I decided to respond a bit alter because I'm implementing Facebook sign in (to limit the amount of spam a little bit) and email notifications. No need to be so rude.

8 hours after you post and this is your first response. Not only that but the site isnt being moderated and you have tons of garbage posted. You're not respecting the HN community by dumping your Show HN post and then disappearing. You're getting the time and attention from hundreds, if not thousands, of people. Don't just dump your Show HN post and disappear. Edit: my use of the word "crap" and crud reaction was in…

The reason why I wasn't responding for 8 hours is that I felt asleep after I published the app (it was 3 a.m. here). Also, my previous posts didn't draw so much attention so I thought I'd better gather (and respond to) the feedback next morning rather than refreshing this page every 5 min.

I've deleted all the junk that was there before and I just updated the website with Facebook sign in (mandatory for those posting new jobs). This should filter out at least those not having fake FB profiles since your name (as well as the URL to your profile) is displayed under the job details. I'm also going to add pre-moderation and email notifications within the next couple hours.

Thank you all very much for your feedback. I've just updated the website with Facebook Sign In (which is mandatory if you want to post new job offer). This should filter out at least those not having fake Facebook profiles since your name and the URL to your profile are displayed under the job details page. I'm also working on pre-moderation and implementing email notifications (I will update the website within the next couple hours).

Again, thank you very much for all your valuable feedback.

Just to follow up (not sure anybody is reading this thread anymore though):

I've just rolled out Facebook sign in (only for those who'd like to post new jobs), manual moderation of all offers (say goodbye to "niggers" and "dicks") and email notifications (which might end up in your "Junk" folder so be sure to check it, will fix this a bit later).

Thank you all for you feedback and I hope Haltura is now more or less usable ;-)

That's great. Good luck with the project!
