EasyList Forum

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 revised the subscription policies based on the suggested sections and will probably update the one on the website with the following alterations at the weekend.

That’s much better. have a good day!

I've applied the changes to the policy page and will sort out the CSS mess when I have a little more time...

it looks good!

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.

Whitelists should be specific enough to avoid protecting unwanted items.

Thanks; I have corrected the text on the policy page.
