Hi Everyone,<p>We need your help to make Spottiness.com more useful. Its purpose is to let people say what they honestly believe, without fear of retribution. The site would have been very useful to Galileo Galilei to openly talk about the earth and the sun; to dissidents in totalitarian countries and whistle blowers. Also to those that want to appraise great work and excellence just because it's fair. Your opinion will reach its target by email, letter, or both, and will stay in the Internet for a while. We hope that, with time, the perception that exists about people and things will emerge. Every opinion (spot) is moderated.<p>A big thanks to Hacker News!<p>Ah, and for the timid in love, we have lovespots ;)
Hi.. I don't really have any feedback on the site, but didn't you ask this yesterday?<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2463286" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2463286</a>
Clickable: <a href="http://www.spottiness.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.spottiness.com</a><p>No HTTPS? That's kind of a show-stopper. If I were to be a whistleblower, you'd be damn sure I'd go to Wikileaks or other operations offering secured channels.<p>Oh, and just for the sake of arguing :) Galileo wanted to challenge the religious establishment, and used his academic credibility to do so. The idea that the Earth is not the center of the universe had already been brought up before him, but his tenure (and research) gave a lot more weight to his voice than a mere anonymous opinion.<p>That said, kudos for starting up. How do you plan to monetize? Advertisement?
How do you intend to protect against slander? Or just outright inappropriateness? Will you be taking down these sorts of posts?<p>I like the idea--we definitely filter ourselves in most forums. I'm just wondering if it is practical.
when I try to visit your site, my company filters you. <i>This category is filtered: Illegal or Questionable. </i><p>I wonder what is on your site that makes them think this, it rarely happens.
