@neuralreckoning@neuromatch.social How are authors identified on arXiv? Can someone just add an author and have them banned?
And if the author has to be involved in submitting the paper through some verification process, why is that verification process not applied for the final version?
For conference submissions, there are deadlines making this often be unworkable, but why should a preprint service not enforce final approval by all authors?

@ahltorp@mastodon.nu I assume that at least there'll be an appeals process for when someone added you without consent. As to the other question: the issue is not technical - because of imbalances of power you may not feel you have the ability to say anything other than giving approval. We can wish it weren't so, but it is.
