Proposed resolution rules — editorial review required

  • Proposed question: Will Archive of Our Own return online before November 30, 2026?
  • Permitted outcome labels: “Yes”, “No”. Before launch, define the specific observable evidence that selects each label; the question alone is not a complete settlement rule.
  • Original timing suggestion: 30 days, recorded on 2026-11-02. Interpreted as a relative interval from that edition, this points to 2026-12-02; it is not an approved deadline. Replace relative wording with an exact cutoff, time zone, and evidence publication time.
  • Starting reference: Dexerto — Fanfiction library AO3 could remain offline for up to four weeks after security incident. Check the original issuer's announcement, official results, or underlying dataset before designating a settlement source; a news reference is not automatically authoritative.
  • Publish how postponements, corrections, conflicting sources, and an outcome not listed above will be handled. These proposed rules require human editorial approval; no result is asserted here.
