Both great questions.
On the project side, I hand approve every post. Spam/recruiter junk/etc. gets deleted and the email address blacklisted.
For the talent side, yes, you're right; there's a good potential for A++++++++ firm nonsense.
The quick and dirty approach is probably not accurately reflecting the work I've put in/will be putting in behind the scenes, through methods we've developed at Forrst for dealing with reputation, throttling one's ability to mass-contact project owners, anonymizing email on both sides with a one-click "this is spam" function, and so forth.
Ultimately, I agree -- they're great (and hard) problems to solve, and I'm eager to do so.

- kylebragger 15y agoHeh, honestly that's probably what I'll do. We (Forrst) can certainly share the load if/when it becomes necessary.
- medinism 15y agoWhat thoughts are you having for automating that process? it seems to me if that if you can scale it up you win!
- kylebragger 15y agoProject approval will likely just be a matter of human scale. It takes < 1 min to figure out if it's going to be approved or not. I do have a bunch of automation around stuff like "this isn't quite ready to go out because of X/Y/Z, click here to edit it" and so forth. Talent side is more interesting. I'm leveraging Forrst's reputation engine to do some behind the scenes ranking of users, at least for the users who have Forrst accounts. Have sketched out some other ideas, but first want to see how the first email fares.
