The questions we could ask
This demonstration brief considers what makes an online sporting space feel welcoming. It proposes questions about community rules, reporting routes and the clarity of moderator responses.
A possible approach
A future study could combine voluntary interviews with a short questionnaire. Any actual project would need an agreed research process before collecting information; this page contains only an illustrative outline.
- How easy are the community guidelines to find?
- What helps participants understand a moderation decision?
- Which features make participation more accessible?
