need one for southeast asian countries and eastern europe
Would love to, honestly, but realistically can't take that on right now — money- and time-wise, keeping this one country's version running is already stretching things. Good idea though.

#53This got flagged, not sure exactly why, but I'm just trying to keep things transparent and keep the site running. Wasn't trying to spam anything, just sharing the updates as they came. Requesting the mod to look into it.
It’s a cool site and you don’t seem to be spamming. But your account is new and has only posted links to your site (4 times) which probably caught the automated spam detection system. I’d gently encourage you to engage with the community and share some things that aren’t your own work as well. From the guidelines:
> Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity.

#54What happens to you in India when you are charged builty of bribery? What are the punishments, if any? (for the person receiving the bribe, not the person bribing, obviously)
Honestly, haven't looked into the legal side in detail. I'm mostly just providing the data (what happened, where), not the legal outcomes. That part's outside what I've built so far.
Are you not worried that your site might lead to those people being executed (either legally, no idea if that's a thing in India, or illegaly)?

I think some people didn't like the contents of the website. I had no idea corruption and bribery was this common India and I guess some people didn't like to advertise it which honestly doesn't really matter as expectation is quite low already

I didn't know about the guidelines; I will keep these in mind, and thank you.

Yeah, that makes sense, and yes, corruption is very common in India, but I am just trying to make things better.

Everything is anonymous.

Fair, the actual disease is the trust deficit; this is just trying to make one symptom of it visible and measurable.
