I find this creepy. I completely agree with policing your employees when they self-identify themselves as such (e.g., with RiotFoo name tags). This is normal.
What is not normal is asking prospective employees for their user id and making decisions based off of the chat logs attached to it. I mean, it makes sense, but it seems like an invasion of privacy.
Would it be fair for YC to make decisions based off of the HN comment logs of YC applicants?
Sometimes you do stupid things and I believe you shouldn't be forever in the future held accountable for what you said in the past.
