Should WOAH start a mentorship programme? 🤔
As the workshop grows, reviewer expectations are rising.
We don’t want contributors from adjacent communities penalised by *CL norms.
Senior PhDs and beyond could be mentors.

CSAM is something that happens among the young people and among the known people, it's not about a third external predator figure 🤯

Our best theme paper goes to Mark J. Hill for "Catching Stray Balls: Football, fandom, and the impact on digital discourse".
This paper investigates how real-world events trigger toxic behaviour that spreads across unrelated online communities. Losses have a stronger impact than wins!
