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.
