#172I'd guess this sort of thing results from the obsession over growth. They are desperate to make their user aquisition/retention numbers look good so they do scammy things to keep accounts. It's sad to see the aggressive behaviour though.

It's probably more likely that acquisition or retention isn't good, and this is done out of desperation.

Will it will become a YC problem with all the bad PR.
Remember, pg has defended a YC company's sleazy tactics for bundling unwanted software in installers (including disguising the choice to install them as an ordinary EULA acceptance scheme, which he whitewashed as confirming that they wanted to install the software) and even that didn't do them any real damage.
I expect pg to defend profitable sociopathic behavior; but this destroys value. If he's not providing any coaching, it's probably because he already wrote the entire team down to zero and thus doesn't want to invest 14 seconds in a text message telling them to 'fix this ASAP'

DICE.COM EMPLOYEE SPAMMING LIVECODING.TV Liza Shulyayeva banned for spamming. WORKS FOR DICE.com and is just spamming Livecoding.tv BANNED FROM LIIVECODING.TV FOR SPAMMING BANNED FROM LIIVECODING.TV FOR SPAMMING+ BANNED FROM LIIVECODING.TV FOR SPAMMING ...did they mispell their own startup in their vandalism? Also, per her LinkedIn, the OP works for DICE the game-development studio (subsidiary of EA, made Battlefield…
In the last 30 minutes they fixed the misspelling but kept the text as it is. This means someone is currently following this problem and thinks they are in the right by doing this.
It's like watching sourceforge implode all over again.

#176Wow. I did one stream there a month or so ago, and an admin showed up in my chat. They didnt do anything too out of tge ordinary, but I found their attitude to be a little too controlling. It seems like they're trying to build an educational platform and expect all their users to be on board with that. The admin interaction lift a bit of a sour taste in my mouth so I didn't log in again.
Their business model and their management competency are just too poor. They will not be able to compete with twitch.

#178Slightly unrelated note, but I received a spam email from Michael@Livecoding.tv on Saturday. I will NEVER EVER use a site that spams like this:
> Hey Luke,

> Livecoding.tv is a livestreaming platform for coders to share their code and hang out. We have users from 194 countries and 3,000 products are being built live using over 35 different programming languages and frameworks. Come and complete your first 10 stream hours on Livecoding.tv and get a chance to win a cool Livecoding.tv T-shirt :)
> If you love your friends, also forward this email to them.

#179It looks like Livecoding have now updated my profile for me, to claim I am "spamming them": https://www.livecoding.tv/lazer/
Hi drakonka, I have only just found out about this, and was until now not aware of what happened. I don't know why my cofounder Michael marked you as spam, and I will ask him to contact you. I can only apologise for the handling of your account deletion, it really is not acceptable that it took so long, so we will make it a priority to improve this.
So, since its 3 hours since you said this and the page is still up, the charitable interpretation is that you don't have the technical know-how to take it down yourself and are frantically trying to get in touch with Michael, who does. Or, you've gotten in touch with Michael, and he's just being a stubborn dick and is refusing to take it down. If that's the case, I feel kind of sorry for you. Sucks the fate of your company seems to have hinged on an apparently unhinged individual.

#180Here is my interaction with livecoding.tv's support about removing videos, they don't seem to like removing stuff from their website! https://www.livecoding.tv/video/designing-a-touch-screen-int... @ 20:37
can you submit DMCA claim to them?
I don't need to since my request was a simple way to remove multiple videos at once, or have an option to not save my stream as videos.
I can delete the videos one by one though, it's just a lot of work, especially when the connection is flaky (it produces a ton of videos in that case)
