No one is buying your false narrative, you are managing to make a bad situation worse. You're going to lose your status as a YC company over this.

This reply along with the libel on the OP's profile tells me that there's a culture of naming & shaming on LiveCoding.

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…

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…

Your cofounder specifically mentioned that you made those comments, not your presumably fictional support team. Are you lying or is your cofounder?

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.

Here 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

Please bear in mind that Livecoding.tv cannot be the place yu resolve personal issues with your business partners. We asked you to provide more evidence on your identity and you did not follow up. We cannot start deleting other user's content based on a single email from an individual we do not know.

In the span of a just a few days we have YC-backed companies being publically outed for engaging in behavior which most of us consider pretty egregious and would certainly warrant any rights as YC founders to be revoked. The tone of commenters (here and w.r.t the Homejoy) can be described as mild shock. This particular example is perhaps even worse than the Homejoy issue, as it seems the founders have taken to person…

You seem to just put out generic statements that have nothing directly to do with the topic here or bare any facts. So i cannot really respond to you.

Do you think youtube/twitch/... don't face these issues? Have you ever come across a youtube account that said:

BANNED FOR POSTING PORNOGRAPHIC IMAGES ON LIVECODING.TV BANNED FOR POSTING PORNOGRAPHIC IMAGES ON LIVECODING.TV BANNED FOR POSTING PORNOGRAPHIC IMAGES ON LIVECODING.TV

No. They just delete the account. I don't think many people would want to join a website where the CEO vandalizes user profile pages, regardless of the reason.

I have noticed a recurring theme with YC companies. Many of them....let's just say that they weren't selected for the strength of their technical implementation or people skills. A good example of this is Magic. This is a site that few people probably remember, but they raised $12M at a $40M valuation after 2 weeks in existence back in March. More than 7 months after raising this money, the company, whose entire busi…

You might dislike Ycombinator because of whatever reason from the past, but Ycombinator is overall by any objective measure very successful in building companies. Am not saying this just because I was in Ycombinator - if you are honest to yourself you will agree.

It's worth noting that when Livecoding.tv first launched, you were forced to register and log-in to watch any videos. It took an entire thread on Hacker News to force the founders to backpeddle once they were caught: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9800321 This isn't the first YC startup I've seen with such blatant "growth hacking" tactics, and it's disappointing.

Hey man. You might want to take a step back and look at what you're currently doing. Your paranoia is really getting the better of you.

The parent comment is from an aged account, linked to someone other than you suggest. In fact all of the accounts you've posted this exact comment to are aged accounts linked to other people.

You need to think about how this is reflecting on both you and your company.
