Will—thanks very much for sharing your views, and some of the discussion amongst the EA Forum moderators.
These are tricky issues, and I’m glad to see that they’re getting some serious attention, in terms of the relative costs, benefits, and risks of different possible politicies.
I’m also concerned about ‘setting a precedent of first-mover advantage’. A blanket policy of first-mover (or first-accuser) anonymity would incentivize EAs to make lots of allegations before the people they’re accusing could make counter-allegations. That seems likely to create massive problems, conflicts, toxicity, and schisms within EA.
