Perhaps in addition to the user's credentials you could analyze the url they are submitting. Has it been submitted before?

- joebo 16y agocrazy idea: maybe also check to see when the domain was registered? more than a year old doesn't sound like a 'startup'. it could be another metric in the decision engine. in fact.... i sense a new startup/weekend project. 'spam link analyzer service' which incorporates user defined metrics (e.g. HN metrics)
- jackowayed 16y agoNo, a lot of people sit on good domains for years before doing anything with them.
- arvcpl 16y agoI don't think it's a good idea as domains may be placeholders for quite a bit of time. Especially if startup is not a weekend project.
- scottnyc 16y agoIf this was implemented, I'd imagine the quality of names for RMS candidates would drop off a cliff! I've got to imagine that everyone who reads these forums has at least 2-3 domains that they've owned for a while for future projects.
