I will likely be cutting back on pinging these types of threads. Unless there's a conviction or the kind of substantial evidence released as in this case, I can't see pinging every single instance, there's just way too many.
I also am a bit concerned about the chance that there could be false accusations. I'd rather be on the cautious side than contribute to ruining someone's reputation even further. If there's been a conviction, I have no qualms about pinging it, but otherwise, I'll take them on a case by case basis.
