What Hacker News says

>We barely get any donations. We barely have money That's relative and your wording is slippery here. What is "barely no money"? $50? $100? In any case, donated money should be dealt with in a better way. Even an ex-member of the foundation (Proplex) had a big issue with this. He actually left because of the shady way you dealt with money and, since then, nothing changed. >we are very transparent about it, look at our donations page. That page tell barely nothing and is outdated. What's the money being spent on? Who's the financial manager? As a donator, how can I be sure my money is being spent on Tox and not on personal servers, vacations, etc. by the Tox Foundation leaders? There were rumors about that, and although I don't believe them, this is a serious issue anyway. >He disappeared one day, didn't warn us or anything and took everyt

hing (including backups) with him. And on the same day you started harassing him, without even listening to his side of the story? And what do you mean with backups? You are saying you or other project members didn't keep local backups? That would be an amateur mistake to make. >Yes because I wanted to know if he had done anything weird on the site And the NSA just wants to know if we had done anything weird on their country. /sarcasm Do you think that justifies spying on him? >We never considered breaking into his account But you said the following at #tox-secret on January 14th: "urras, if you want to forcefully gain access to his digital ocean account I can reset his pass" SOURCE: https://archive.today/Y6LEw (line 45) >His tox.im mail was never remade on the new tox.im mail server so all emails sent to it ended up in our catch all email As soon as he left the project you should have deleted his @tox.im email account or at least temporarily disabled it. It's unethical to keep receiving (and reading) emails that were meant to someone else. >I'm a member of the Tox foundation and I don't sneak in copyright changes in my repo I never said you did, I was talking about stq, the second in command of the foundation. https://github.com/stqism/ToxCore/commit/bed425598f26938bd54... >Because kicking trolls is censorship? Tell me, how is this a troll? http://i.imgur.com/HNFtcOG.png Keep in mind the title was defaced (and later on the message) by irungentoo. As soon as dfortner raised up those questions, you locked the issue, edited his messages to say garbage, hurting his image, and banned him from the repository so he couldn't raise the issue again. >Sorry for my previous comment. This one should be better. This one isn't a blatant rant without content like the other one, it's just some damage control. I honestly don't know what is worse, but I guess you are right on saying this is a little better.
