I guess id wanna know what was said at the dinner cause if you were like "so and so sent me dick pics" and they did nothing thats inexcusable, but (as you wrote on reddit) if you said some vague "so and so kinda hyperfixated on me(?) and his posts that I cant show you right now because were in person were kinda creepy" then vOv

If someone comes up to you and says "I am being harassed by X person repeatedly" and your answer is "okay but prove it right now!!" instead of trusting them and protecting them while you sort it out, you are not handling things well.

Turns out false reports are *exceedingly* rare because of how much poo poo women get for coming forward at all.

You’re not reading it wrong. The MO, as it usually is, is to nitpick and demand more and more “proof” until the reporter gets exhausted and gives up.

Authorities harassing women into backing down then using them to say "see? It was never true!"? No, how could it be?

Again, I dont think its reasonable to expect that you can just say "this guy is creepy" and expect that they will get immediately banned without any verification.
If you sent transcripts/screenshots/included details of what was said to you in person, then obviously I am out of line here, but that isnt what you wrote on reddit.

As if everyone doesn't know exactly what you deleted.

If you can't see the difference between constantly asking women who are reporting harassment for more proof and asking for chat logs of an internet personality being accused of being dismissive/derogatory there truly is no hope for you.

This.

I'm involved in a similar process elsewhere right now, and I'm finding that this thread is well timed for me. Seeing a parallel process unfold in which I am not invested (but my sympathies go out to those who are) is actually giving me better clarity. I will say that whereas privacy is crucial at some stages, should a finding of wrong doing be made, continued silence only serves to marginalize the accuser/victim and possibly even empower the abuser. And the process had better be transparent and clearly spelled out so that when it goes necessarily silent trust can be maintained.

Wish I had a dollar for each person who has expressed shock, that they thought the accused "was one of the good ones!"

Been through the process of discovering that one of my close friends victimized multiple mutual friends. Stopped associating with them and made sure that (within the victim's boundaries) everyone knew why. If you continue to stand with abusers or even just let them continue going about their business while saying nothing you empower them, as they see no consequences.

Turns out that you don't need to be civil to fuckwads, and when people spew hostile bullshit but then get mad when you have the audacity to punch back it's just a sign of their inability to do anything but punch down.

But please, tell us more about how you handled complaints of harassment oh so well while being publicly dismissive of the very idea of believing women.

Quite to the contrary, that's exactly how to handle it, the only way to handle it at scale, and I don't think people have thought this through.

We had a significant population of minors, to boot. "Lock everything and create a law enforcement paper trail" was policy by necessity, and it's exactly how to handle this risk.

I comment only on the policy of locking/banning everything in sight and unfreezing after consideration and time.

vvv Right.

Punishing victims for reporting discourages reporting.

inb4 some loving karmafleet pubby suggests some dumb poo poo like "spies will fake discord logs to get rid of important people for ~strategic metagaming~"

It's the eternal (false) argument: "but false accusations are so common! Women just make this up to hurt men!" IIRC studies show about 5% of reports are "false" and the definition of "false" often errs pretty strongly towards "we just don't believe you even though there's no evidence you're lying," including police harassing victims into "admitting" they made it up. Also, that's only for *reported* cases, meaning the nearly 40%?ish? of unreported cases aren't factored in, bringing that number even lower.

The idea of "well we have to be oh so careful to protect the accused because so many people lie about this" is an unbelievable strawman. Know how you protect everyone's rights? By doing a transparent investigation, not silencing the victim and trying to contain the fallout.

Im answering the ones who are literally quoting me.

I'll give you one final effortpost

The reason we say only 5% (on the high end) are false is because many people *presume* accusations are false whenever they affect someone in their circle. The point is that so few accusations are false that you must take them seriously and investigate. Literally nobody here is suggesting to guillotine someone based on the accusation, but that you should assume all reports are made in good faith until proven otherwise.

If you somehow don't get this still you're just actively ignoring the point.

I'll also throw in that if you're comfortable operating solo and enjoy lowsec Stay Frosty was a very fun environment for me personally.

EDIT: when I say operating solo I don't mean to imply there's a lack of group content, but you'll need to be self-sufficient in terms of income to replace losses. Corp is a bunch of LS pirates, and while lots of folks hunt solo they can quickly wolfpack if a bigger target shows up. I tackled a thanatos in an enyo once and held it just long enough for us to get 5 guys out there to defang and kill it.
