    I don't think she has the power to do anything in the regard. There are too many people with reputations on the line at SO, and too many lawyers involved. Commented Feb 20, 2020 at 15:05

    I think that due to the legal agreement, neither part can meaningfully tell or act on anything further about the incident with regards to the other part. So, it is very likely beating a dead horse. Commented Feb 20, 2020 at 16:36

    @DonThousand: the “you will” was referring to corporation, not the poster. The corporation has the power, we will see if it has the desire. Commented Feb 20, 2020 at 21:08

    @VictorStafusa: given that the offer to request reinstatement was not withdrawn, I do not believe they cannot legally act. They chose, and continue to choose, not to. I will admit that it is possibly they have real concerns and are prevented by the settlement agreement from stating their concerns, but if so, that makes the offer of considering a request to reinstate a lie to the community. Because if they legitimately have such concerns they are going to deny any such request. Commented Feb 20, 2020 at 21:23
  • neither the trust nor the community itself is seen as valuable It's not hard to see why. The meta community is tiny. Out of everyone using SO, only an abysmally low percent of people actually know about the controversy and drama happening. As long as there is new flesh asking and answering questions, they will have traffic on their site. There's no reason for them to care about these issues at all. Which is why they're virtue signaling by hiring a new person to "fix things" (who in truth has no actual power and was only hired to placate people for a while longer).

    @Legxis: which would make this post a lie told to the community. And I think think collectively the posters to just this thread probably represent a few million points of rep. That’s a lot of people helped. Commented Feb 22, 2020 at 11:03
