What specific agreements have I violated? Please give links. On unfounded claims I will be forced to write a complaint to the site administrators.
Seen a few people wanting help to break into somebody else's computer… a note to all would-be contributors… this is a direct quote from the "Hacking on the Hack Chat" document linked above (see the link after 'Wonder what we mean when we say "hacking"?'):
-----
Nothing illegal will be discussed in the Hack Chat. Please do not ask us to talk about this stuff. Hacking in the sense of breaking into websites isn’t something we discuss here.
People who continue to ask these kinds of questions will be removed from the Hack Chat. No exceptions.
Questions about how to hack things that are illegal will be ignored.
Questions like “how to hack” are not clear enough to be answered and will be ignored.
Questions referring to “Help me hack Facebook” are illegal, and will be ignored.
Questions referring to “Help me to hack a certain website” are illegal and will be ignored.

Then there's this in the terms of service, a link to which is at the very bottom of nearly every page on hackaday.io:
-----

You'll be either:

3. reported to moderators who may choose to have you removed

Hey all! Super excited about this chat.
I'm an American who just quit my day job and moved to Shanghai (currently). Definitely looking forward to doing more with Chinese suppliers and this chat is definitely what's up.
I'm a mechanical engineering but been interested in electronics/software/mecha-tronics my whole life and been hacking since I was a kid. Started several companies over the summers throughout high school and college, and a couple since then. All small. Trying to take the next step and get something bigger going.
Cheers and looking forward to the chat.
Cool! How does the Shanghai weather compare to Florida?

In other words, by being here, you've agreed that Hackaday.io can publish what you upload. I call BS on your "copyright violation", and predict the only thing that will be removed, will be your comment (and maybe your account if the admins deem it appropriate).
