Since reading comprehension is apparently a challenge:
Accusation
> IMO BountySource is a borderline bad actor.
Elaboration
> It was a pain in the ass to get them to remove my projects from their platform and then they only "sort of" did.
Sir_Cmpwn has no further obligation to elaborate even further on the detail given, though there might be a benefit to explaining what "'sort of' did" means.
Edit: looks like he did here anyway -- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15748433 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15748433
- openasocket 9y agoElaboration is more of a quantitative thing than qualitative, though. It's always possible to elaborate further, and there's no harm in asking to do so. And I found that his further elaboration was helpful: "I could also clarify that BountySource is opt-out: by default they're accepting bounties for projects that did not agree to having a bounty program." I originally assumed you had to register your project on BountySource, and they were just making it difficult to de-register something that had already been added. Making this thing opt-out only, and apparently making opting out difficult, is really bad behavior, and I completely agree with his characterization.
