This has to be mental illness or drugs. Completely bizarre.

Bit frustrating that you see poor behaviour that's hard to understand and leap to "mentally ill", rather than "scumbag".

That's just trying desperately to give the benefit of the doubt. "Surely no one would be this bad on purpose."

I'm concerned that many comments on this suggest that the problem is that the CEO needs better PR. It's scarier to me that this sort of behavior could hide behind PR. For tech in general I think ethics needs to be considered more than PR, as that's the heart of the matter. Clearly, those who've signed up for Livecoding are somewhat scared that this team has their data. I understand YC can't run these companies, but I…

Joe - I hope you doing fine in Indiana. Can you at least be honest and add that you spammed on Livecoding.tv many times marketing your website and service for which our support team warned you and banned your numerous accounts?

You obviously don't trust the motives of the people posting here. That's fine, but perhaps you could phone whoever is your contact at YC for some friendly advice? Their interests are aligned with yours.

I really get the impression that you don't see how bad your comments in this thread are. It's difficult when you're in the middle of something to take a step back and see it from other peoples perspective but you would really do yourself a favour if you just stopped posting here altogether at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if the op took your posts and made them into a follow-up blog post.

Ah I remember them pushing t-shirts fairly hard in email at some point a few months ago. I think I got some sort of email or internal Livecoding message about having won a t-shirt or _something_ of the sort. I would have to give them my address to receive the item and considered it but never went through with it I think. From memory they claimed to have made the offer based on some sort of user criteria, like a "You…

It will be honest if you could disclaim your name to the people reading here so they know how to intepret your comments here

Your 10 replies of claiming people should spell out their full legal names in the thread are not making anything better. In the few cases we don't already know their names, it wouldn't make you seem any bit less incompetent or hostile to know their names.

Also, you're going on the record as saying that the important thing here is not to apologize, not to fix the problem, not even to try to explain but rather to point out to people that they should sign their names in an online discussion with full names.

Grow up, step back, fix it, apologize.

Just noticed that the text on my profile has now been changed to "Marked for removal from database". Perhaps they fixed their "cron job". mumphster mentioned on Twitter that that he just got banned also and actually managed to have an exchange with the CEO: https://twitter.com/elgruntox/status/661063421283012608 https://twitter.com/elgruntox/status/661063608302866432 I'm not sure where the first line is coming from a…

From mumphster's transcripts linked in the children (drmjg is the Livecoding.tv CEO): slateytv: you look childish and irresponsible for releasing her full name and company drmjg: As mentioned above her account really has nothing interesting on it. so there is no reason not to even delete it. [...] ellbot: also why the hell would you edit her profile to show her work and personal information to the public slateytv: ar…

It's getting weirder. They've just responded to everyone who mentioned this debacle on twitter, saying that it's all resolved and all the posters on HN are spammers, banned users, and competitors.

I'm none of the above.

Go on guys, dig yourselves a deeper hole, you'll hit bedrock soon.

He commented the same to one of my comments, even accusing me of online harassment and other things. I'm currently at the post office buying stamps for an international letter, so I can send a C&D. This is the weirdest exchange between a business and its customers I've ever seen.

I filed an ICO report early this morning, but not sure how far that will get to be honest. I am not familiar with the UK's systems or what they will bother to do with this, if anything.

Well, we can only hope they change something, delete your personal data, and publicly apologise. If you'd go to court, you could probably even demand money for the damage to your reputation they tried to create, but court is expensive in these cases.

Let's see what they will do, maybe once it hits their lawyers and they are personally at risk they turn reasonable. Or at least their lawyers prevent them from doing more shit.

Hi Liza – This is Michael from Livecoding.tv. I hope the tension has calmed down a bit. Am traveling in Europe and thus not always reading emails. Apology for how our support handled your account deletion request and the emails back and forth. It was not really nice and needed given that your account had no content on it, we even deleted all your videos, and disabled your account. They thought you were a troll and ju…

Michael, you're acting like a man-child, and you're now in the process of offending twitter.

Where do you think this is going to end?

If I were your investor (and I am an investor in startups, as well as a founder of a now decade old company), I would be moving for a vote of no confidence in you, and fast.

What's wrong with you? Take the page down. There's a whole HN thread sitting here hitting fucking refresh on it over and over again waiting to see how much more drama your insane team can generate over this. Are you running a company, or a very elaborate piece of nerd performance art?

I may be jumping to conclusions, but this reddit comment by Jamie Green may shed some light over his situation... https://www.reddit.com/r/timferriss/comments/3g2mjg/tim_ferr...

Feel sorry for Jamie. See also the latest twitter comment here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10488919

I’ll quote another comment from minimaxir: > You're joking, but a quick Google search of [site:livecoding.tv banned] shows that's exactly what is happening. > https://www.livecoding.tv/2pointoh/ > https://www.livecoding.tv/hekton/ Which shows their usual procedure for deleting or banning is... vandalism .

Hi Alex from Watch People Code, i know you do not like us a lot because we did not agree to pay you money to move to Livecoding.tv. Please be honest and add a disclaimer that you are Alex from Watch People Code and you and your team members are trolling with different usernames in this thread and on Livecoding.tv. https://www.livecoding.tv/2pointoh/ also called Dan by first name is an individual in New York city who'…

hi, just wow, if i ever thought that livecodingtv could screw up this situation any more, you found a way.
