On July 27, we reached out to Bountysource in response to a complaint we
received from a user. During our investigation and discussions with members of
your team, we found that your organization does not have a mechanism for
responding to removal requests from users, which is required by our Terms of
Service. Specifically, Bountysource does not "respond promptly to complaints,
removal requests, and 'do not contact' requests from GitHub or GitHub Users."
Over two months later, you have not made any changes to your platform in
response to our requests.
Therefore, we have suspended your application until you create a process for
actively responding to all personal information removal requests, including
those related to projects and issues. In order for us to remove the
suspension, we would ask to see two things:
1. Confirmation from you that you have a process in place for responding to
takedown requests about all areas of your website.
2. Inclusion of a public notice to your users stating how to request the
removal of information. That notice can be included in your documentation or
other legal notices.
Once you have that process and public notice in place, we'll be happy to
review your site and consider lifting the suspension.

I don't use mobile, can you show us what does it look like? Is there a maximum width that works?
HN doesn't offer a lot of markup and indenting text for monospacing is about the only tool that they offer for code snippets.

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
