I feel the exact same way about those two salaries listed. Thanks for noting that.

When the site gains more traction and authority I'm shooting for more honest than bad. Hopefully, it will be obvious looking at the averages.

Then when I add flagging (probably this weekend) I'm hoping that will really help solidify my opinions for removal (then I'll gain thresholds for grounds on removals). The flagging will either be tally based or vote based. Also I'm considering adding commenting on the flag or just in general commenting on any salary provided. Might even show std, med, etc.

Thanks for your input!

Right now I wouldn't consider any salaries listed there to be reliable, people are probably just testing the site out. My honest opinion would be to load initial data yourself using some legitimate sources (glassdoor could be one, but you can google it) instead of relying completely on crowd to build your database from ground up.

You should show some really good data to begin with.

But overall site looks slick!

good luck
