Resolution talk:Personal image hiding feature

Q - What does it mean to "affirm our support for user choice"?

A: It is important for readers to be able to customize their experience on the projects, and to make their browsing and searching useful and comfortable.

Q - If there is a simple feature like this that is designed by community members and supported by the vast majority of people in a community (say, in a long-running RfC), would it be implemented?

A: For features that are not controversial and supported by a vast majority of community members: yes. Gathering feedback on a feature request, and gauging community interest in it, is a bottleneck for implementation.

Q - What does this mean for suggestions proposed so far, by community members and others, to provide users with a choice in what images they see?

A: A variety of useful suggestions have been proposed to help customize image display; from solutions for individual pages where the curation and selection of images is controversial (e.g., Muhammad), to options for customizing search results, to options for all images. Those that gain widespread support may be developed and implemented; however there is no specific feature that has been singled out for development.

Q - Could different communities choose to implement different solutions to this set of feature requests?

A: Yes. Currently most communities implement their own solutions and editorial guidelines for issues that divide readers. Any tools or features developed could be implemented by communities that want them.
