16 bombs now, despite my requests for people to lay off of it.

Why hasn't anyone learn from this? I swear this issue is more systematic than I realize if the TLP community finds it ok to mass-bomb drafts for the sake of it.

Frankly, anything above 5 or 6 is excessive and pointless when it comes to drafts like these.

I'd say keep things around 5-10 net bombs, maximum. Anything more than that is really overkill.

I think people assume a draft that's obviously going to be nuked is a free space to mess around because, well, it's not going to end up on the site anytime soon. As we've seen, that's not a productive mindset and there's better places on the site to goof around, like Forum Games. The TLP's generally been more productive and welcoming to even poor drafts since that incident, but we shouldn't regress.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
