Ah, I see, you want to be able to create an account without an email?

Can you confirm that is what you prefer?

We have to screen very carefully for fraud from overzealous authors, unfortunately. Email is a nice tool in that.

no ties to my other accounts would be ideal from my perspective

i understand that it’s easier to get a stronger “trust” signal by being more invasive

but hopefully the product will be so valuable that users will value their accounts as assets (like on hn) that they won’t want to compromise with bad behavior

    The problem is authors will sign up for fake accounts to vote for their own books, so having an email with each account is a big trust factor that helps us a bit.

    I'll think on it :)
