I have disagree voted specifically because I believe waiting at least 24hr before responding is a good practice, as it allows a global audience who check the Forum once per day to see Frances’ post before a CEA response.
Not “good practice” as in policy but “a good practice”, as I was replying to a comment saying that it was a bad thing that there had been no official CEA response in 24 hours on a platform that CEA owns.
I do not think that quick responses will help this situation. The time for a quick response meaningfully fixing things is long past. And I would think that any attempt to respond too quickly would be CEA attempting to control the narrative developing here in a way that is unfair to Frances and to the EA community. The purpose of this forum is to allow the EA community to meet and discuss things of importance to EA (which this is), and CEA hosts this forum to serve the EA community—not to control its brand image.
I also explained my disagree vote in order to imply that I was not disagreeing with the rest of the post. I do agree that allowing a misogynistic culture to develop to the degree an incident like this could happen is indicative of a failure of leadership capacity in EA’s leadership organisation. And this raises questions about if some of the leaders involved here really are the kind of people best able to lead the EA movement.

Why is it good practice to allow a post to be on the forum for some time before the response is available to readers?

That seems reasonable, and I appreciate folks’ feedback via agree and disagree votes.
