@amon I will suspend moderation for the time being. The main reason is the lack of transparency from SE's side.

@AntonMenShov Have you considered changing the display name or avatar to attract more attention to the campaign, since a moderator is highly visible?

The decision to resume moderator duties is yours alone to make, of course, but doing so while the company has done nothing to fix the situation just enables them to go on as they please. At this point, personally, I do not understand anybody continuing to moderate. Mods laying down their tools in serious numbers is the one thing that could actually maybe force them to change course.

@vicky_molokh I did consider it; however, "reinstate Monica" is not what I am fighting for. I have so many problems with how she was fired, how SE handled and continues to handle the situation and many other recent actions. I think that SE actively harmed Monica. I think that SE actively harmed the LGBTQ community. I think that communication was terrible – and many other things.

@PekkasupportsGoFundMonica I understand that, and I could not have chosen the worse timing to resume moderation 2 hours before SE announced it would start removing GoFund direct links. I also see that my (very small) community is suffering from a lack of attention. I am serving Computational Science, not SE as a company. Now, I am not ready to just give up; however, I am very close to resigning (instead of suspending as a half-measure).

@PekkasupportsGoFundMonica I also see, that SE is unlikely to do anything outside of their "lawyers channel". As of Nov 15, it is clear to me. Thus, money and lawyers matter, unless somehow community actions will be able to cut down traffic to StackOverflow by 20-30%, which is unrealistic.
