Merge “out of scope” and “closed” into a single “out of scope” category #44

Closed axelsimon closed 12 years ago

axelsimon commented 12 years ago

“Closed” doesn't mean much as a category, we'd be better off having a single category, “out of scope” which we use for both.

From our perspective, cases that are closed such as judiciary blocking of the Pirate Bay, are just out of the site's scope (ie: report “commercial” violations of Net Neutrality)

I don't know... Out of scope is something like http://respectmynet.eu/view/210 which has definitely nothing to do with net neutrality whatsover.

On the other hand, filtering the Pirate Bay, although coming from a judiciary decision, is a violation of net neutrality. Marking it as "closed" means that we care, but we can't do anything.

Sorry, I should have been more explicit about this.

We reached this conclusion after discussing it with Benjamin. Although there clearly are differences between an ordered violation to NN and someone just complaining about their subscription, given the editorial line, the goal of RespectMyNet, it makes no difference if a case is one or the other because it doesn't serve the website's purpose: to show operators violate NN of their own accord, for their own benefit.

Hence in this view, both type of cases we are discussing here are “out of scope”.

On top of that, we are talking about 7 cases in all (3 closed, 4 OOS) out of 220. Merging them will make things more readable. Given that they will then also be greyed out in the list, so people know not to pay attention to them. ;)

Fixed (I can't close the issue though, sorry)
