I was going to Launch our Webapp tomorrow, but I'm having either cold feet or a good idea. Namely asking people on this channel if they had any comments or suggestions on my draft.
It would be much appreciated!

Every day, after launching, makers are contacted on LinkedIn and X by people offering to sell votes. As the Product Hunt team, we are very much aware of this and really hate it. We have systems in place to neutralize this type of gaming. Every vote counts for a different number of points on Product Hunt. A couple examples:

• An account with a recently created gmail address and no history of quality contributions on Product Hunt: this vote will count for 0 points. Yes, this might be a well intentioned user, but we take a conservative approach to protect the community. If the account has a company email or applies for verification on Product Hunt, that's a different story.

• An account with a company email address linked to a legitimate LinkedIn account with a history of meaningful contributions on Product Hunt: this vote carries significant weight.

A couple questions for the community:

• Are there specific accounts on Product Hunt that you suspect participate in vote selling? You can reply here or email report@producthunt.co

• What would you want to see us do differently here?

After several years of founding and running a VC backed startup that got acquired by a fortune 100 I am looking to reconnect with the founder community!

With AI it's such a fun time to build now, but go-to-market is the new bottleneck. I'd love to connect with folks to share stories!
