Revisiting the requirement of TCS compliance about tox.chat HOT 4 CLOSED

The TCS as it stands is still completely relevant, regardless of whether or not we actively develop it or enforce compliance. So with that said, no I don't think we should remove it.

We definitely need some sort of vetting processes for listing clients on tox.chat, and I think the TCS addresses the most obvious security concerns. At bare minimum, listed clients should comply with the security related points. Listing non-vetted clients would be irresponsible. We would be better off not having a client list at all.

The TCS as it stands is still completely relevant

I disagree, it is not completely relevant, some points are confusing, some are broken and it's impossible to update.

However, I agree with you, the parts about security are relevant and we should require some minimum standards for listing clients tox.chat.

I think that in a world where Tox was being worked on more actively, it would make sense to revisit the TCS; we should probably rethink how we organized it, and update it where appropriate.

Part of its original purpose was to be a way to decide what clients we should include on tox.chat, since we shouldn't be listing absolute garbage. At this point, there are so few actively developed clients worth using that I don't particularly care for or need a standard to tell me which ones to list on the website. The reason we stopped working on it in the first place was lack of developer interest. So if I don't care and devs don't care, then I'm not sure who that leaves in the set of people who still want to use the TCS for something, but I'm not in it.

tl;dr, do what you need to do man, it doesn't really concern me anymore because the relevance of the TCS died along with all of the developer activity.

Alright, I guess this can be closed with #227 being merged in.
