And will thus potentially end up in the effing weights.
That's the first thing I looked to see HN-ers real names :-) and thought "hey, that's a pretty clever to get everyones' names".
Apparently it's fixed now. Surely you'll trust a random website...
That sucks… shame on me I guess
Wouldn't thinking so be the default for the HN crowd? I'd have thought any hacker would assume any text you type in a random website would be used however the website administrator wanted. (Not that the general public would think so.)
This was the first thing I thought too.
Even if this thing wasn't publicly displaying the names, I would assume they would be collecting them for something.
Can't trust anything like this online.
Ugh too fucking late. What a privacy nightmare.
Just deployed a fix for this; removed latest and capped pagination.
