If you pander to the small vocal minority — that define harassment as anything they don't like — people will leave this site. Did you see what happened to Gawker Media when they printed slanderous comments (if they used names) about people using the GamerGate hashtag? Do you see what kind of things people say about Vox Media, Polygon, Rock Paper Shotgun?
People are already sick of this shit from people constantly making false harassment allegations to shut people up. 99% of people do not agree with, or engage in harassment; the problem is *who defines* what harassment is *and who* is the arbiter of the punishment.
People don't have any faith in the arbiters because it has been shown what type of people they are. How can we expect a fair shake when the CEO of Reddit make false allegations defeated in a court of law? Cries of harassment and sexism defeated in a court of law. The difference is, a court has a jury, evidence and a fair and transparent legal process. not a lot of people (if you ask them) will feel the process you deploy will be similar.
There's nothing here!
