Community Health Check - Seeing What People Are Thinking

from the prevention-goes-a-long-way dept.

So, every once in awhile, if things have been quiet, I like to pop a post seeing what the general feelings of the community are towards the site, seeing what we could do better, etc. I think its been a few months since the last time I posted in Meta, so I think this is a good time to get a pulse on the community, and provide a venue to get any feedback (good or bad).

On the staff side, I know things have been relatively quiet over the summer due to most of us being busy with life and such, which is why we haven't made a major site upgrade since the original rehash upgrade at the end of May. For myself, I've been working at a new job, and dealing with a fair bit of non-Soylent related things to the point that I really only have the time or energy to post, and occasional check in, and I'd like to thank the rest of the staff, and mrcoolbp in particular for holding down the fort for me.

Anyway, in contrast to my usual posts, I'm going to cut this off here, and will be looking forward to your comments below.

    I see that there is at least a draft of a privacy policy on the wiki, but "reasonable and customary" measures do not assure me. "Only if legally compelled" would be better. What I want to know before I sign up is whether you will sell my information to Microsoft, give it to the NSA, or share it with DoubleClick.

    Does a privacy policy have any legal standing? As far as I know, it is basically just a "promise", one that can be changed or dumped without notice. I'm happy as long as the site avoids the pile of scripts to run that plague other sites.
