| Dec 9, 2019 at 16:47 | comment | added | Toby Bartels | Lawyers do more than sue people; they write letters. And they know how to write them the right way, and how to avoid mistakes that weaken a case. That's what the OP is proposing. Unfortunately, these aren't the kind of lawyers that work on contingency, so Monica does need money. Fortunately, the GoFundMe seems to be producing that. | |
| Nov 21, 2019 at 1:01 | comment | added | Steve Sether | @faintsignal I didn't say that. It isn't black and white, or all or nothing, lawyer or do nothing. Likely trying to put pressure on SE through moderator actions is a far better approach if you want change. SE has a bazillion dollars and a large amount of time to just throw at this. When confronted with an enemy, don't fight them where they're strong, fight them where they're weak. Generally corporations are very strong with regard to legal fights. | |

| Nov 21, 2019 at 0:31 | comment | added | Steve Sether | I think hiring a lawyer is the wrong approach. People sometimes erroneously think that lawyers (civil at least) is about getting justice. That's rarely what happens. Civil lawyers are about one thing, and that's money. You can certainly sue them... and then several years later, after everyone has long forgotten about this it gets a day in court? Don't waste your energy on the justice system. Suing SE isn't going to change SE. | |

| Nov 1, 2019 at 14:53 | comment | added | user630245 | @MontyWild That would incentivize the lawyer to aggressively (threaten to) sue SE, which I think Monica wishes to avoid. | |

@nvoigt Agree 100% again! It's just adding another layer of sh... poo onto the... poop cake if solving this means forking out thousands of $localcurrency. Having an adult conversation shouldn't - there's that should word again - mean lawyering up

| Oct 25, 2019 at 18:03 | comment | added | bertieb | Not that I disagree, but... lawyers are bloody expensive. A volunteer shouldn't have to spend potentially significant sums of money just to have their voice heard by the people they've been giving their time to | |
| Oct 25, 2019 at 15:43 | comment | added | Ask About Monica | @Raphael - True, as we're finding out. She should get a lawyer. | |
| Oct 25, 2019 at 8:52 | comment | added | Raphael | If and when lawyers have to get involved to resolve community management issues between volunteers and platform providers, that platform and community are dead walking. | |
