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.

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.

I updated it to hide name and email by default.

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.

Unlisted posting is complete. If you send to [email protected] (or [email protected]) 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 [email protected].

Anonymous posting is coming next!

You could implement email like Craigslist do with an "email relay".

That way the users email is hidden with an anonymous alias. But people can still reply to that alias email.

This is a great idea. I've actually started down this path a bit, and will add the actual email relay tomorrow!
