EDIT: TL;DR I AM NOT EDITING OR KEEPING UP WITH THIS MYSELF. I AM HOLDING THE TORCH FOR THE NEXT RUNNER. ALL ATTACKS OR ADVICE ON CONTENT HERE WILL BE IGNORED.

NOTE: This is a call for a volunteer to continue upkeep on this information. Please post your updated/revised posts and I'll link them just below this note for people to comment on below. The most popular/lauded will get the job. Afterwards, if there is an issue with the new stickied user, please ping me about it, and present your posts if you'd like the job. Thanks - Crensch

Also, if you have not seen this post, READ IT!

Thanks for doing that. Please do not accept anyone with a new or too recent account or who has shown shill behavior on the sub. Actually the person to take over this role should have made significant contributions to the investigation as this would more effectively exclude risk that she is a shill.

Also, if not confidential, has former poster received any sort of pressure or had any specific reason to feel in danger?

The qualifications for this include their ability to create an easy to read megathread that isn't debunked 50 times in the comments and remains unchanged from them. People that organize things are sometimes not the best at being on the forefront.

No. That was me assuming urgency - it's not overly urgent, he just made his contribution and wanted someone to pick up the baton.

I agree that the person doesn't need to be a good detective to be a good organiser. But it's also important to make sure that the person isn't a shill, and filtering based on account age and participation so far is a good criterion. It's not totally fair because there are many new accounts who are honest people. But it's safer because there are many more shills among new accounts than among older ones. This post being the public face of the investigation, making sure that the person who maintains it doesn't have a vested interest sabotaging it is paramount.

The person who creates the best replacement post will have the sticky until those that are doing the investigating find fault with it - the person with the sticky will have ZERO power over anything at all, and will lose the sticky as soon as they start posting garbage.
