If it weren't for the fact that there has been some serious controversy over the livecoding CEO in the past, including him getting banned here on HN [1], I'd find the fact that this is posted by a brand new account and every comment so far (except this one) is either by a brand new account or an account that has not commented until now rather suspicious.
I wouldnt have posted here and i have no use for HN personally but i got another "legal warning" that charges are pending from dr dipshit again. Figured I'd post it here and contact YCombinator to inform them that their webpage is either inaccurate or one of their CEO's is operating outside the stated guidelines found here: http://www.ycombinator.com/ethics/
I think everyone is fed up with his crap I left for Beam.pro. Although its designed for gamers at least its still small like livecoding but I know for a fact that they won't try to harass me or threaten me.
Treating co-founders and employees with fairness and respect. -Ask Jamie Green and Muhummad how they feel about their treatment. Ask why stock options were denied and revoked after someone was fired and told you must be an employee to receive stock int he company. Ask why DrMJG hasnt paid an employee over 1k... owed since Feb.
Not using misleading, illegal or dishonest sales tactics. Must signup to use the product. This seems to be a toggle. sometimes you MUST sign up to watch any stream ... most times you dont. He's gotta fluff the numbers to secure another rounding of investment.
Not harassing or threatening any co-founder, YC community member, employee, or anyone else. anyone else... would that include anyone who is .... else? such as content makers, streamers, users, guests? right... he's harrassing me end of fucking story if you find a way to disagree you're a delusional fuck who needs to take a minute relax and revisit this entire thing from an unbiased third perspective.
Keeping off-the-record or confidential information (whether about YC itself or a YC company) private and secret. Well I cant comment on this but keeping secrets in a publically accessible location is not private nor secret. Someone should tell DRMJG security through obscurity is no security at all.
Not behaving in a way that damages the reputation of his/her company or of YC. HAHAHAHAH This one makes me laugh at the sheer ignorance displayed by "Doctor" MJG.
Being honest in the YC application and interview process. Honest and Withholding truth are different things. I can only speculate but I would assume he used Jamie as the face of LC to sell it and get the money then got rid of Jamie ASAP.
Generally behaving in a professional and upstanding way. Maybe they need to define professional and upstanding so I might understand what level they consider to be professional and upstanding
If YCombinator does nothing then their link "http://www.ycombinator.com/ethics/" is PURE FLUFF BULLSHIT NONSENSE and they really dont stand behind what they say they do. If they do stand behind their words on their pages... they should take the actions they state they would then....
"To maintain our community, if a founder behaves unethically during or after YC, we will revoke their YC founder status."
they should fucking revoke YC Founder status IMMEDIATELY. Otherwise YC breeds bullshit CEO's and should be criticized as such. I don't think that's YC's bag tho so let's see how they handle this.
