Can you name examples of this working? Because I’ve seen a good number of anonymous public accusations on this forum and I don’t recall any that led to the outcome you describe. I understand this theory of change but it sure doesn’t seem to work that way in real life.
In contrast I know of many cases where backchannel reporting to trusted third parties has led to results. If someone is not willing to speak up publicly, then using whisper networks or official reporting channels has a much better track record compared to making burner accusations on the EA forum. I am somewhat worried about people making an ineffective burner account post and feeling like they’ve done their job when otherwise they would’ve mustered up their courage and told the conference organizer.
