But if the admins of the site cared more about integrity than pure profit, they'd put in a simple heuristic to filter this shit. So one way or another, they're culpable; and more so if this is a known phenomenon.
Oh, they're definitely culpable. But in some ways that jackass is the least of it. They know perfectly well that he'll tweak his pattern to evade any filter.
But they sure as hell could manually scan their emails. That's the really demoralizing part. They might lose a war of escalation but they don't even try in the most conspicuous places.

We need to stop accepting the "it's automated curation by an algorithm" excuse from companies. It isn't my problem that you outsourced your editorial responsibilities to a glorified paperclip optimizer. It's still your responsibility.
This applies not just to Quora, but every company with an "algorithm": Twitter, TikTok, Facebook, Youtube, Reddit, etc.
There is nobody curating it. It's all automated.
