If there really are 3000 emails it would be pretty impractical to release a redacted copy and not make any mistakes. If this ends up being the evidence used for permanent desyopping and sanctions, I would like to see disclosure and discussion of redacted examples as part of Arbcom's formal decision.
Folks shouldn't hold their breath, though. This could take a while.
No, no. Not the whole archive. I mean certain emails. The most damning. This way the community knows what went on.
Releasing them all would be... well, it reminds me of when Kelly Martin was releasing early ArbCom-l emails individually. I forget who it was, but someone described it best as "intensely boring." It would probably be much like that to go through them all.

Releasing partially redacted info would certainly give people something to occupy themselves with, but as Piotrus says "Russavia was not that often discussed" and "list contains a ton of private information" and "the group archive was hacked" and the real villain will not "hesitate to adjust their 'evidence' to make it more appealing" and people on the list made "comments would prefer they don't get back to people with admin/arbcom power" and "it is inherently impossible to judge whether the alleged archive is real or not ". Obviously the only thing to do is deleted these fake, hacked, personal, compromising, yet still fake, emails and forget about the whole thing.
Are you one of the accused? If not, your AGF is staggering.
