| Dec 26, 2021 at 19:28 | comment | added | Novak | I'm not interested in trying to define that precisely; people who read Meta know what looks like-- long strings of meta posts discussing or arguing about it, excessive churn in open/close votes, strident arguments in meta, etc. I am interested in not having a mechanical, rules-based meta-policy on when to revisit already mechanical policies. | |
| Dec 26, 2021 at 19:24 | comment | added | Novak | In addition to the point about the built-in bias of poll drift (not proven, but certainly plausible) I would suggest that there should be an additional criterion for revisiting these topics: An active controversy concerning the policy, or evidence that the policy is beginning to chafe. | |
