The reason why I'm so hardcore on vetting mods/contributors on zines nowadays is because Antis have infected EVERYTHING. It's too risky just to blindly start a zine without doing this because Antis have a fucking track record of doxxing and harassing people.
There's an OCEAN of difference between 'Hey, this isn't my fave ship/thing, I wants no parts of this.' to 'OMG YOU'RE A PEDO INCEST FETISHIZER GROSS YOU NEED TO BE FIRED!'
The Antis fall in that category. You don't want them near personal info like addresses and emails.

So if you're starting a zine or contributing, its important that you vet your Mods/Contributors for safety and success of your project. Even if some Antis are your friends because it only takes ONE to land your ass in court.
