There's no specific metric, but rather a kind of holistic evaluation. If the proposals do not work, there will likely be complaints from the userships end and/or difficulties on moderation's end which will indicate that they are not working. If I get the sense that either of these things are the case, I would likely refer the policies back to the usership via a MEEP process so that the site's usership can render their verdict on the issue.

Wouldn't it be best next time to layout what you wanted out of something and what it would take for it to fail?

Do you have like a ballpark of the number of complaints required for this to be a failure?

I think the hypothesis-test model is the wrong one to use. In one sense, there are no metrics (or means of obtaining metrics) to measure scientifically these policies. In another sense, that a policy is willed by the people seems to be sufficient grounds (in most cases) to adopt or scrap some policy. And, finally, the impression of whether something succeeds or fails, and what either would entail, is largely evident from a close consideration of the policies as articulated.

@RationalMadman

I second RatMan's suggestion that choose winner should be a feature that defines troll debates (who wants to RFD a troll debate anyway?)

I second Ragnar's notion that our common understanding of troll debates doesn't quite match the set of debates that don't want or deserve moderation. What about another term? fleabates, not debates for example? how 'bout freebates or wee 'bates?

Just use any model to measure the success of this. If you don't you won't know how much of an impact this had or didn't have.
