This is a policy question and wiki-research-l and analytics mailing lists
are not the best place to discuss it.​ (I'm not sure where it is, maybe
policy public list?)

If you are interested about learning how a specific research effort has
handled this question, I suggest you reach out to the researchers in that
effort. In the case of  Ex Machina: Personal Attacks Seen at Scale
<https://arxiv.org/abs/1610.08914>, Section 3 should give you a relatively
detailed description of how this question was approached.

Best,
Leila
