| Apr 23, 2013 at 3:10 | comment | added | Troyen | @Troyen My experience is primarily from JLU, which is still in beta, and we've had this very problem since the beginning. I believe something similar happened to the History beta and a couple others as well. I agree with your POV, I'm just saying that view might not be very prevalent because there aren't many resources for brand new betas. | |

| Apr 22, 2013 at 23:53 | comment | added | yannis | @Troyen Took a quick look at your profile, and you seem to be primarily active on graduate sites. I'm talking about a beta site here, which means the community has a very different set of challenges to overcome. Personally I'd probably ignore a near even split on Programmers (graduate), true. On Politics (young beta) however if there was an even split I'd be much more inclined to support a scope expansion, as it would be the more beneficial option for the current state of the site. | |
| Apr 22, 2013 at 23:45 | comment | added | Troyen | @Yannis But that's not what often happens (in my experience, it seems the status-quo remains in effect on a near-even split), hence this discussion. There aren't a lot of resources that recommend how to set up a brand new site and handle cases like that aside from some brief sections in the SE FAQ. | |
| Apr 22, 2013 at 22:52 | comment | added | yannis | @Troyen The quality of arguments brought forth for or against the scope expansion will be more important for Politics, than the actual voting split. Young betas don't see much Meta activity, you can't really rely on vote splits, especially when they are so close. Also, since the site is in beta, it almost always makes sense to go for a scope expansion, even if the vote is 50/50. Betas can always use more questions... | |
| Apr 22, 2013 at 22:47 | comment | added | Troyen | @Yannis If someone proposes a scope expansion on Politics and the vote is 60/40 in favor, are those topics under the proposed site expansion now on-topic, or was that not enough of a "consensus"? How about 70/30? | |

Sigh. I'm no longer sure that even splitting MSO from MSE would help. It's just so cynical around here.

| Apr 22, 2013 at 22:40 | comment | added | yannis | @JonEricson "no generalizations can be made across multiple sites" is also my interpretation of random's comment, and also my own opinion. If I start moderating Politics as I moderate Programmers, Politics will soon cease to exist. | |

A short note on the unique situation of beta sites.
