Really good changes. I've added a minor suggestion and brought up one point around content which could put us in a sticky spot regarding which might allow people to start asking for their local TV station websites again. Take or leave whatever makes sense to you.
| 2. **Sites which are hosting stolen content as their main source of content** | ||
|
|

| 10. Sites which have no way to determine viewership numbers | ||
| Plugins must only support websites with authentic content. |

How are we defining "authentic" here? This was an annoying spot we got in to in the past when people asked us to implement some weird TV station that was running news broadcasts or other local content. Does this need to be more explicit? I don't think a nightly news broadcast for a town or village of 200 people really counts as authentic or non-niche.

I believe you're confusing two rules here. Niche content is already covered by rule 10.

No I'm aware of rule 10 but my assumption is most people aren't going to read all the rules so I'm not sure if we should be more explicit in this one. It's not a major deal or anything, I just don't want the headache of arguing with people about what the word "authentic" means so I figured I'd mention it. We can revise later if it becomes a problem.

| 5. **NSFW sites of a pornographic nature** | ||

| This also includes borderline NSFW content, as it lowers the bar for follow-up plugin requests. |

👍 Good addition to note here regarding borderline content.

This doesn't update any of the current plugin rules and just rephrases and clarifies them.
