Hey all, Chris from Houdini here. This is a new idea we're currently working on - any feedback is greatly appreciated!

How does the tech work? Are you looking for some sort of standard deviation from what a "correct" image should look like or farming out the work to monkeys, or something else?

I have the same question. I'd be interested in using this, but I need to have at least a rough idea of how the technology works in order to determine if it would be effective

According to the reddit submission - http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/hk4j5 - seems to be using Amazon Mturk.

The title, "Keep unwanted photos off any site," should be "Keep unwanted photos off sites you own".

It's not clear what happens to the moderated photo. Is a placeholder returned? Is it blurred, etc etc.
