funding: what sort of sponsors are unacceptable?

[ghuntley]

observation

• three of the sponsors on the reactiveui page at the moment are online casinos
• afaik they do not use reactiveui
• they are buying the advertising slots

I was wondering why these dummies were doing this. Ban the hell out of them

[daveaglick]

I have so many questions... I can’t imagine RxUI generates many leads for them - how did it even land on their radar? Is this like an automated thing - look for OpenCollective tiers that mention “logo” or something and auto-donate?

I'd feel no obligation to take their funds.

[ghuntley]

What if we accepted their funds, didn't display the adverts and redirected the income to outreachy or anti-gambling equiv?

Agreed

how did it even land on their radar?

This is probs a SEO play

Have started discussions in the #support channel of opencollect.

Confirming that reactiveui.net has been deployed with nofollow.

[glennawatson]

Ethically we probably should just have backers that aren't going to cause controversy. So ban their arses.
