sorry about the wording. It's clear in all the FAQ and about pages, but I guess we ran out of real estate where some of the text is shorter. Will get right on t

  Dear modsearch, you guys have the right idea but the wrong way of implementing it. My advice would be really short and simple: stop. You can launch exactly once. It doesn't matter if you are feature complete. But it does matter if you're consistent. You are building an e-commerce site of sorts, so reputation is really your only real currency. The site right now is confusing. Fix it! Now. Don't promote it any further than it has gone already, repair those things, make it clear and consistent and then make your push. Also, you should probably yank all the dummy auctions (or at least the stuff that looks like a dummy auction) (a poorly drawn giraffe ? a floppy disk ?) because they degrade the profile of your site. I realize you guys are of good intentions but you are making a poor first impression. You only get one chance at a first impression.

    We will implement consistency fixes asap. However, I don't think there are any more giraffes on there :) all the auctions on there are from real users and we try our best to moderate the fake or silly ones :)

      Good one. Let me know when you're done I'll give you a boost, email is in the 'about' bit. I've been hard enough on you ;)

        No, your feedback has been great. We need to think about these things and we're glad you brought them up. Thanks!

  In addition to the other text I quoted, you should probably change this: "1. Sign up and get 500 free credits"
