I didn't even know it was possible that you could end up on the audit track instead of advisory. Unless I am reading wrong if you are put on the audit track you can't even participate in the forums. I can understand limiting Advisors but why community forums where you can all share and discuss?

If you got put on the audit track, can we all join this group so we can leverage sharing with each other? https://www.facebook.com/groups/229021634448412/

Also it'd be cool to have a slack/discord.


Foe me it was the other way round(I hope...)

But you can still audit, and where best to know bugs are a reality, than with the startup czars...


Disappointing to say the least.


For ycombinator to state “an error occurred in the software that triggers acceptance emails.” is extremely disrespectful. You seriously expect us to believe that? Since this is a hacker forum, please can you tell us exactly what this error is and why it occurred?
