Re: [Gendergap] Interesting new book on trolling
Amazon Smile is their charity program, a portion of your purchase will go to whichever charity you have selected. Not sure what happens if you don't have one selected. A better question might be why does a book about an internet topic not have an ebook version? Janine JJ Marr wrote: Is that a referral link?

Re: [Gendergap] Google Group invite
Looks like they are going out in batches, mine just came through. Although when I checked, it said I couldn't view because I wasn't a member. Janine Alison Cassidy wrote: I didn't get one.

Re: [Gendergap] Sexualized environment on Commons
There are plenty of people using IRC, but many of them don't know it. There are chatroom/IRC hybrids, generally on forum sites. You embed the chat window in a web page, and anyone can join in. Those who want can use any IRC client to get to the same channel, but with more features. http://www.irchighway.net/ http://mibbit.com/ Janine Sarah Stierch wrote: Exactly. IRC is for the old school and ubergeek. And as Sue has said in the past - we're only going to retain specific types of people to be long term editors (ubergeeks like us) but, if we can figure out a solution to help out the average joe/sphine editor... ___ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
Re: [Gendergap] Addressing incivility (was: men on lists)
Daniel and Elizabeth Case wrote: A major problem with our dispute-resolution processes is that the person being harassed has to endure more harassment to draw attention to the problem. This is, of course, hardly unique to Wikipedia or even online communities in general, I think. I have long thought the Foundation ought to employ a team of specialists who can take up those cases when they see them, so that the pursuit of sanctions is not laid at the victim's door. This is perhaps similar to Sumana's suggestion that communities need dedicated helpers who will do the emotional labour in conflict situations. Would there be a good existing example of such a program we could take a look at? Daniel Case Online communities can allow anyone to report problem posts or PMs. Only the moderators see these reports, not the general membership or public. For example, Simple Machines Forum has a report link on every post. http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php Now in many cases the harasser can blame the victim, but that happens whether it is the truth or not. I have run into a problem of neutrals feeling as though reporting is being a snitch. Haven't figured out a way around that yet.
