Neotarf, glad you focused attention on these kinds of issues. À propos of that, a troubling pattern I noticed in Wikipedia categories:
Category:Abuse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Abuse includes a subcat, Abuse of the legal system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Abuse_of_the_legal_system, which I took a close look at, because I hoped there would be some reflection of the double standard of in/justice for affluent white men who commit sex crimes, in particular the infamous Stanford rapist case which attacked the victim and judge Aaron Persky's sick joke of a sentence that made a mockery of justice.
Instead, all I found under that was a sub-subcat "False allegations of sex crimes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:False_allegations_of_sex_crimes" to which the perpetrators of DARVO harassment claim to belong. Nothing about double standards, victim blaming, and other such misogynistic abuses of justice.
Thanks for going there, Neotarf.

These are mostly TL:DR and not tailored specifically to online communities, but are mainly valuable for their overviews
DARVO
"DARVO stands for "Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender." The perpetrator or offender may Deny the behavior, Attack the individual doing the confronting, and Reverse the roles of Victim and Offender such that the perpetrator assumes the victim role and turns the true victim -- or the whistle blower -- into an alleged offender. This occurs, for instance, when an actually guilty perpetrator assumes the role of "falsely accused" and attacks the accuser's credibility or even blames the accuser of being the perpetrator of a false accusation."

Institutional Betrayal
"The term "Institutional Betrayal" refers to wrongdoings perpetrated by an institution upon individuals dependent on that institution, including failure to prevent or respond supportively to wrongdoings by individual"..."Victims, perpetrators, and witnesses may display betrayal blindness in order to preserve relationships, institutions, and social systems upon which they depend."
http://dynamic.uoregon.edu/jjf/institutionalbetrayal/index.html *Tactics against sexual harassment: the role of backfire*"...if an action is perceived as unjust and information about it is communicated to receptive audiences, it has the capacity to cause outrage and consequently backfire on the perpetrator. Perpetrators regularly use five types of tactics to inhibit outrage: (1) cover-up of the action; (2) devaluation of the target; (3) reinterpretation of the events; (4) use of official channels to give the appearance of justice; and (5) intimidation and bribery of targets, witnesses and others"

"A button to report harassment"
This is ties in to the Citron speech Q&A on "precision in recall": or "a rule that was very easy for people who are harassed to report that harassment, but it also enabled people to use reporting harassment...to harass other people."...and "we’re making a place where you can safely report harassment, and somebody will turn around and well, now somebody is going to in a very hidden place, report that I’m harassing them, and you know, work against me..."
