Wow. 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 thei…

We do not really censor much on any channels except the channel is that of a child or woman. We want Livecoding.tv to be a place for all including teens and women as we told you in emails and on the site. We have a lot of under-age streamers and viewers and thus we cannot allow guys to go over the red line on their channels.

"except the channel is that of a ... woman"

Would you care to expand on this a little bit? (I'm hoping for an answer like "it keeps out the mra/gg riffraff", btw)

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".

As austenallred mentioned, I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Wow, trying to doxx people is just the lowest.

And failing at it, despite my contact information being public everywhere! I’ve volunteered in a child daycare for 2 weeks a few years ago, and even those children – age 3 to 6 – behaved more mature. What does make me sad, though, is that his co-founder was caught in this fallout, and his reputation will be stained by this.

Well, in the case of Lazer he did not fail completely. I wonder if the Dr. ever heard of Gamergate.

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…

Wow, the title of profile page is now * Marked for removal from database - in PHP programming language * Curious what they're doing right now..

Did they outsource all of their dev and administration to some cheap outfit?

Well, it looks like my profile is back again...again with accusations of spam... https://www.livecoding.tv/lazer/

Wow

It looks like they _removed_ my username and profile, then _recreated_ it just for the sole purpose of this. This is pretty amazing.

Just a quick update - I can no longer reset my password, so either they have actually deleted my account now (great!) or just changed the email address. Either way there is no use speculating now as my profile page is a 404 and there is no way to tell with certainty one way or the other whether my account has actually been removed (I suppose one could try to register the username "Lazer", but I am way too sick of thi…

Update to the update...my profile is now back, again with accusations of spam: https://www.livecoding.tv/lazer/

And, for those still watching the drama, they've actually updated your profile again, so the first "banned" line now reads

    ANNED FROM LIVECODING.TV FOR SPAMMING
    BANNED FROM LIVECODING.TV FOR SPAMMING+
    BANNED FROM LIVECODING.TV FOR SPAMMING
The bizarre "+" is still there, but you've lost a "B" in "BANNED", so it looks like another by-hand update of your profile.

Looks like it's finally a 404.

Wow, it is! After all this time, I've never been so happy to see a 404.

Not sure if someone recreated your account for laughs but it's up again with the same spamming accusation in the profile.
