@atomicpoet @shelenn Do you have a hypothetical example of how that would work? I ask because I’m not sure I understand. Is it that someone could use CWs to “hide” hurtful content?

I think this new article about CI sets it out pretty clearly: http://rickardlindberg.me/writing/what-should-a-ci-server-do/ (and I'm flattered he mentions some of my writings on the topic)
