  From the policy: Some examples of ethical behavior we expect from founders are: * Not using misleading, illegal or dishonest sales tactics. * Not harassing any YC community member, employees, or anyone else. * Not behaving in a way that damages the reputation of his/her company or of YC. * Generally behaving in an upstanding way. Looking at Avi's background: "Like at age 16 when my co-founder and I wrote one of the first Facebook scripts to mass-invite people on Facebook to events we threw. Or how while at YCombinator I hacked prototype day (To PG’s disapproval)" I think YCombinator is starting to have issues with their filtering process.

    Also this: > At first, I decided to just solicit them our deck and pitch but then I realized something: Tim Ferriss and Jason Calacanis almost definitely knew each other. So I spoof called Calacanis from Tim Ferris’ number. I know PG looks upon a certain amount of "naughtiness"[1] as a potentially positive indicator, but it should be clear to anyone with an inkling of common sense that this is way over the line.
