Re: interruptions

Hi Andrew

 interruptions other than advertisements


Adverts are a huge one, but also chats,  updates, things of interest, even offers to help. Anything that goes "ping".
For example ; I have often missed a turn or got lost while using a GPS systems because I am being warned about a speed camera, I am passing a fellow GPS user,  or  there is a car parked on the hard shoulder, or of course, there is a gas station nearby. The last one is advertising, but the others are more common notices.

  Hi 
   
 
  we are stuck on the interruptions. The main issue seems to be the difficulty seems to be we are stuck on adverting.  I think we all know the need but there was a lot of concern that this will interfere with many sites need to make money though advertising.
 
   
 
  Can anyone think of a way around this?
 
   
 
  The only thing i can think of is to scope the SC to important information, critical services and payed for services.  It would be great if anyone else has a better idea (or if you think this is acceptable) 
 
   
 
   
 
   The current wording would be: 
 
    a mechanism is available for  to postpone or suppress new content that does not directly relate to the main topic or purpose of the content unless it is essential, initiated by the user, involves an emergency or if the content is not funded by the user or user representative and does not contain a critical service or important information.
 
   
 
  we had these defined in earlier versions as follows....
 
   
 
   
 
   critical service
 
   [Proposed]
  service that is needed to prevent significant harm, risk or loss such as: significant financial loss, illness, injury or deterioration in a patient's condition or effective loss of rights or freedoms
 
 
   
 
   Important information
 
   [Proposed]
  information the user may need to complete any action or task including an offline task, or related to safety, risks, privacy, health or opportunities
 
 
   
 
  funded by the user or user representative
 
  proposed definition - 
 
  the user or a representative of the user, such as a gardeain, has paid money  to use the content or may spend money on the site such as,  eCommerce sites, or subscription services .  
 
   
 
  (this needs work but you get the point...)
 
   
 
  All the best
