In writing up a draft of the safe space and accessibility policies for the ace community, I've come across a few questions that I want to get some feedback on before sending the draft out for editing (and then posting it for more editing).

  • Do we want to include an age note? (Not allowing in anyone under 13 or something.)
  • Do we want to include suspensions? (In addition to outright banning.)
  • Do we want to include freezing and deleting content? (If something violates the safe space policy, do we want to have notes about freezing threads or deleting comments and posts? What would be the conditions to decide between freezing and deleting? Do we feel there's a difference between deleting entire posts and deleting comments or comment threads? Etc.)

For the accessibility policy, so far I've got:

  • Image descriptions required when including images or linking to images
  • Putting flashing animations behind a cut with a warning
  • Descriptions required when including videos or linking to videos (even if the video has captions)

These are the most common accessibility concerns I've seen. I'm sure I'm either overlooking or unaware of more things, so if there's another concern you're aware of or that would be important to you, please let me know.

Name poll to come soon, also. I just wanted to make them separate posts and not do one right after the other.

That sounds like a great option re: not having an age requirement (other than DW's) and simply putting the age-restriction on certain posts. And on freeze/delete - having looked at everyone else's comments I am still for my original suggestion. We need to have an archive of what people have said and done, but we also don't want potential triggers sitting around, even if they're frozen. Deleting them but keeping copies is the best way, I think.


(I'm also wondering if it's necessary to have the name poll run for a week? I mean obviously if you need that week anyway to get things organised, that's a different matter - but with everything that's happening on tumblr, people's moods seem to be very low, and I'm concerned for the people on there who don't have any safe spaces. Though at the same time I really really don't want to rush or pressure you. Um.)
