\section{StackOverflow.com}
StackOverflow shows a very slight decrease in the average sentiment of time before the change is introduced. When the change occurs the average sentiment jumps up. After the change, the sentiments reach higher levels and keep rising. The average vote score rises right before and stays fairly constant after the change. This indicates that the vote score is not affected by the change. However, the number of questions from new contributors increases after the change while before the change is fairly constant. The number of follow-up questions from new contributors declines before the change and rise after the change.

\section{AskUbuntu.com}
AskUbuntu sees a decrease in average sentiments prior to the change. After the introduction of the change, the regression dips but sentiments keep rising drastically since then. The vote score has a huge range of values prior to and after the change, however, the graph indicates the vote score declines after the change. The number of 1st questions slightly decreases prior to the change and starts rising after the change.

\section{ServerFault.com}
ServerFault shows gradually rising average sentiments prior to the change. At the time of the change, the regression makes a jump upward and the average sentiment decreases slowly afterward. The vote score falls prior to the change, made a huge jump upward, and quickly returns to the levels just prior to the change. The number of 1st questions, however, sees a drastic change. Prior to the change, the number of 1st questions decreases steadily, while after the change the numbers increase at the same pace as they fall prior to the change. The number of follow-up questions also sees the same course direction, falling prior and raising after the change.

\section{stats.stackexchange.com}
On stats.stackexchange.com the average sentiment decreases steadily prior to the change. The regression dips when the change is introduced. However, the average sentiment after the change indicates a slight upward trend. The vote score also decreases prior to the change but does not recover afterward. However, the number of 1st questions and follow-up questions rise prior to the change and increase even faster after the change.

\section{tex.stackexchange.com}
On tex.stackexchange.com the average sentiment is low compared to the other investigated data sets. Prior to the change the average sentiment only slightly decreases. When the change is introduced the regression takes a dip down and after the change, the average sentiment increases drastically. Future data will be required to see if this upward trend continues or evens out. In stark contrast, the vote score shows a downward trend, although there is a short window around the change date where vote scores are higher compared to before and after the change. The number of 1st questions has a downward trend before the change and an upward trend afterward. The downward trend of the number of follow-up questions is uninterrupted by the change.

On unix.stackexchange.com the average sentiment decreases prior to the change. When the change is introduced the regression takes a small dip down, however, the average sentiment increases fast after the change. The vote score shows a continuous downward trend and the number of 1st and follow-up questions fall slightly prior to the change and increase afterward.

More than half of the commiunities show befits from the change. The number of first questions increase in all of the 6 previously shown communities. Also, for most of these communities the number of follow-up questions increased too. Furthermore, the sentiment ITS shows an improvement in all except 1 community. The vote score analysis yielded no meaningful results for these communities. The vote score does not change with the introduction of Stackexchange' policy, with the exception of ServerFault, however, the increase in the vote score did not last for long.
\section{math.stackexchange.com}
The math.stackexchange.com community shows a decrease in average sentiments, vote score, and the number of questions prior to the change. The measurements make a small jump upward when the change is introduced, however, they continue their downward trend after the introduction of the change. Only the number of follow-up questions stabilizes and begins to increase after the change.

\section{SuperUser.com}
SuperUser shows only sightly decreasing average sentiment and vote score up to the change. At the change time the regressions take a dip down and the regression shows a downward trend after the change. Indeed the average sentiments and vote score dipped considerably when the change is introduced. The average sentiment recovers about 13 months later, while the vote score does not recover as well. The number of 1st questions decreases prior to the change and then goes through the roof indicating a huge wave of new users. This drastic influx of new users may explain the crash of the average sentiment and vote score that occurs at the same time. Data available in the future will show if the recovery is persistent.
