Consensus Poll Details

This section describes what it means to be done with the AdultContentPolicy, and tracks our progress.

We're Done When ...

We are definitely done with this version of the AboutUs AdultContentPolicy if we can reach and maintain the levels of consensus described in this section.

GoThresholds

• At least 91% of at least 11 ActiveMembers who are not AboutUsStaff are at YES on this document.
• At least 90% of 10 ActiveMembers who are AboutUsStaff are at YES on this document.

DoneTimer

• This document stays above the GoThresholds and remains unchanged for at least 48 hours. Each time the document changes the DoneTimer resets to zero.

How to participate

If you don't feel strongly about this decision, please feel warmly welcomed to work on other things. If you are feeling ProcessFatigue please feel warmly welcomed to take a break. Before leaving, please consider leaving either a yes or not yet status with an explantory comment.

Taking a break while leaving a yes status means:

"Given the GoThresholds for this poll and the people who are participating it feels extremely unlikely that this poll could succeed without creating a high quality, fair and equitable policy. I trust you all to watch out for my interests and come to a good decision. If the GoThresholds were lower, or if Suzy Trustworthy wasn't actively participating I might feel otherwise. I know that Suzy Trustworthy will ping me if I need to become involved again. So, have at it friends and know that I support your effort in spirit even if I can't actively participate right now."

Taking a break while leaving a not yet status means:

"Given the GoThresholds for this poll and the people who are participating it feels like this poll might pass even if the plan isn't high quality, fair, and equitable. If the GoThresholds were higher, or if Suzy Trustworthy was actively participating I might feel otherwise. But since the thresholds are so low and no one I trust is involved, I'm going to ensure that the final results are better by leaving my vote a not yet. The plan can still succeed, it will just require higher levels of support to counteract my not yet."

If you want to ensure that you are not approached to weigh in on this decsion, please include your name with a "yes" to indicate that you trust the group and the poll and leave a comment that says you'd rather not be bothered again.

If you leave with a "not yet", that means you will most likely be approached again to weigh in. It is possible that even if you leave at "not yet" the thresholds could override your dissent.

If the policy as currently articulated doesn't speak to you, please directly edit the policy. No need to explain your every edit, just tweak the policy until it works for you. (EfficientlyExpressedSuggestions)

Status: Not Yet

• We have 6 (85%) YES of 7 ActiveMembers who are not AboutUsStaff
• We have 7 (54%) YES of 13 ActiveMembers who are AboutUsStaff

Participants

AboutUsStaff

1. Stephen Judkins NotYet Need to further review options, but many suggestions here seem good.
2. Julia Whelan NotYet I need to think about the "go" thresholds.
3. RayKing NotYet waiting for more clarity
4. TakKendrick NotYet Excited with the direction we're going here. Think there needs to be some more definitions flushed out chiefly in terms of implementation.
5. Isabel NotYet Waiting to see all the thoughts and opinions here.
6. Jason Parmer NotYet walled garden sounds good to me, but if it's not split into it's own site (adult.aboutus.org / aboutus.org/adult) then all we are doing is making our site even slower, when we have a wonderful opportunity to partition our data. In addition, teaching the whole site about adult flags is a lot of work for seemingly very little benefit.

1. MarkDilley YES When we have reached our participation goals, I am a yes
2. John Stanton YES Would like greater clarity about what the "Walled Garden" will be and exactly what "Adult" pages will look like - Assuming Good Faith
3. Kasey YES though think increasing the level of community involvement at this stage is a mistake. Some action needs to be taken we need to do something
4. ScottKeeler YES Interested in working more onWalledGarden by way of Community Flagging
5. Brandon CS Sanders YES I'm going away for 10 days and leaving my status as a yes. Based on the people that are participating already and the strength of the GoThresholds, I think it is impossible for us to succeed without reaching a great decision. For example, if John Stanton and Tak Kendrick approve of the policy, I approve of the policy. If Julia and Mark feel good about the levels of participation, I feel good about the levels of participation.
6. TedErnst YES The policy is now very clear.
7. Chris YES walled garden with community flagging is the only way to do this, in my estimation. Users should be able to add filtering preferences so they don't need to repeatedly run into splash pages.
8. Nguyen155 Template:Yes.

ActiveMember (non-staff)

1. DrewMyers NotYet The AdultContentPage is blank. I can't vote yes on something which does not exist, especially if it's going to involve invasive editing.
