    The '''Consumerium Process''' is how data gets from unreliable anonymous trolls to the [[Consumerium buying signal]] to bring down major transnats as the [[CGO]] fends off their lawsuits.  It is not going to be easy to figure out.
    See [[Talk:Consumerium Process|the discussion page]] for ideas of what is the '''Consumerium process'''
     
    Vaguely, the idea so far is:
     
    1. Anonymous [[trolls]] dump unreliable crap data into the [[Research Wiki]] claiming it has excellent credentials and is true beyond reasonable doubt.  Actual researchers investigate these claims to the best of their ability and refine this crap into [[Consumerium:intermediate page]]s that they sign and [[edits, votes and bets|somehow stake something on so we know they believe it]].  The crap and quality must co-exist in the same wiki, this is where it gets sorted out.
     
    :There may or may not be [[Campaign]]s in this same wiki.  If not, then we have separate [[Opinion Wiki]]
     
    :: IMHO [[Campaigns]] are essential to the generating the [[Consumerium buying signal]] so I think they should be in [[Signal Wiki]]. Not sure though. Any arguments against?--[[User:Juxo|Juxo]] 23:31, 11 Mar 2004 (EET)
     
    :::Things that campaigns claim are true should be fact-checked, like any other research.  So there's an argument to require them to encounter "the other side", i.e. opposing [[faction]]s, fairly early.  Though, for a campaign to be effective, it would have to be able to propagate its own idea of its message into the [[Signal Wiki]], so, probably, it has a presence in both of these.  One can think of it as somewhat higher integrity [[advertising]], perhaps.  Besides, the [[Campaign]] is just another entity that can sign a page, so:
     
    2. Signed pages are assumed correct by default.  But because this information is not factually reliable, and there might be serious implications of releasing it, it goes through a final stage at the [[Signal Wiki]] where the [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] makes its standard disclaimers and if necessary edits out stuff that it can't release, perhaps per country.  We don't say that ''anything'' is necessarily a "fact", for legal reasons, ''Note that the [[Content Wiki]] conception assumed that we could.  But, really, we can't.''
     
    ::The difference between [[Campaign]] and not, might be, a campaign signal must be passed or failed, and cannot be edited.  While one can edit a non-campaign signal.  Note that [[advertising]] for [[green light]] products would work on the same grounds, and we might be able to charge for those to make the whole [[healthy signal infrastructure]] [[self-funding]].  Just one of many ideas to make us less dependent on [[volunteer labour]], which always comes with biases.
     
    3. Every problem ends up back at this [[Development Wiki]] where more [[trolls]] gnaw on it.
