That's a real asinine assumption to make. I explicitly said in my comment that harassment is a worthy cause, but that a half a million dollars is excessive.

- anigbrowl 10y agoBy what standard? How much do you think would be appropriate to spend on this issue?
- Sir_Cmpwn 10y agoA calculated sum based on an objective analysis of the needs of the situation to fit the financial requirements of specific action items.
- MBCook 10y agoHow do you make an objective measure of the financing required to fix harassment problems to a reasonable degree?
- Sir_Cmpwn 10y agoThe same way you actually fix the problems. By figuring out the steps you need to take, and estimating their cost. If you can't do that then how are you going to fix the problems even when you do have the money?
- ericd 10y agoHaving worked on anti-abuse/fraud work, I think $500k is light for a site the size of wikipedia. It takes people working full time to create and modify the systems to stop it.
- anigbrowl 10y agoPut a number on it, otherwise you're just blowing smoke. If you can't put a number on it, then you clearly haven't performed the analysis and so your claim of it not being a good use of money is untested.
- Retric 10y ago1/2 million is only 50k for 10 years. So, no it's not a lot of money.
