The Guardian has also done a study of the comments added to articles. They 
found female writers were far more likely to receive criticism / comments that 
had to be deleted.

Subject: Re: [Gendergap] Guardian article on cyber harassment

It could be an interesting Wikimedia blog post to write a history of 
moderationon Wikipedia projects. I'll bet that various communities have 
developed in different ways because of crucial early choices in moderation 
policies...

@Chris, yes that Verge link keeps coming across my screen from various sources, 
but for some reason I can't seem to get past the first anecdote, if anyone can 
give a synopsis for the TL:DR challenged.  There is a great response to the 
piece here [1] "Then they throw people at the problem but never their precious 
“engineering resources.” When trust and safety, fraud, compliance, and 
moderation teams start getting their own engineering resources, 
something that often takes years to happen, then you know the company is
 finally acknowledging the importance and seriousness of the work." [2]

Here is also "Understanding the difference between generic harassment and 
GenderTrolling" [3]: I could wish for more {{citation needed}}, but the site in 
general looks like it might have some good resources.

Interesting article. Thank you for sharing. This made me think of the recent 
reporting by The Verge on the issues of moderation in online spaces, free 
speech, and harassment.
