The CoC is almost certainly already written, but this quip is a cherry on top:
> We’ll be reaching out to her directly to apologize for the lack of process, privacy, and to discuss next steps. We’ll keep those discussions completely private unless we both agree to share any of it with the community.
So they're going to demand she stays hush about what they say to her unless they approve? Seems extremely dishonest and scummy to try and control someone you've already wronged.
- x0x0 7y agoIt seems to say that StackOverflow -- as is only professional -- will not share anything unless the fired mod agrees.
- StudentStuff 7y ago> We’ll keep those discussions completely private unless we both agree to share Reads to me as StackOverflow will not share anything if they feel revealing the conversation would hurt their PR.
- oliwarner 7y agoThe We in "We’ll keep those discussions completely private" is SE, not SE and Monica.
- simonh 7y agoThe "unless we both agree" bit implies they reserve a veto on her releasing anything.
- oliwarner 7y agoLiterally speaking, sure. Absolutely it could mean that or half a dozen different things. In the context of an apology about being heavy-handed, I highly doubt it means they intent to suppress speech from a third party that they have no power over, implied or otherwise.
- fourthark 7y agoShe mentioned in her post that she did not think it would be legal to release some of the conversations she has had with SO employees.
- tempestn 7y agoI think he's just trying to avoid suggesting that if they don't release it all, it's because she didn't agree to it. If he'd said, "We'll release it publicly as long as Monica's ok with that," it could easily be seen as pressuring her to do so.
