I itemized the subscription policy entries

Post by maybee »

writting subscription policies is a good job :)
I itemized the policy entries. I think it help users view the policy efficiently.
how about this?

Service of filter subscription

coverage
  • Filters should only be added for English websites; supplements support other languages.
    • If it is not feasible for a supplement to override EasyList filters should be added to the primary subscription.
    • Languages for which there are no supplements may have issues resolved in EasyList; however, these filters should ideally be transferred to another subscription.
  • exception : Adult websites must not be supported.
target
  • EasyList filters must remove adverts, although it is acceptable for them to incidentally remove tracking.
  • Anti-Adblock should only be challenged if the system limits website functionality or causes significant disruption to browsing.
Standard
  • Standard of blocking ads
    • Adverts must be blocked regardless of the reasons for their presence or the purpose that the money raised ultimately serves.
    • Domains specifically serving adverts should be blocked on all third-party websites.
  • Standard of allowing ads
    • Self-promotion should not be specifically removed by EasyList, although equally should not be whitelisted if it is blocked.
the management of filter list
  • Filters must be as efficient as possible.
  • Only element rules based on id or class should be applied to all domains, unless there are exceptional circumstances.
  • Consistently problematic filters should be removed from the subscription.
  • Specific filters should only added if a substantial amount of advertising is removed by its inclusion.
  • Whitelists should specific enough to avoid protecting unwanted items.

I agree that it would be helpful to add sections to the subscription policies and have therefore moved this topic to the development forum for further discussion. I have also updated your forum status to reflect your status as Corset author and granted you the contributor rank.

I have e-mailed Wladimir to request assistance in overriding styles.css, the stylesheet provided by Anwiki.

I'm a little late to the party, but I figured I'd note a quick grammar error on the last line.
Whitelists should specific enough to avoid protecting unwanted items.
