16 bombs now, despite my requests for people to lay off of it.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessIf only a Kid from the Future could go back and tell the troper(s) who made the YKTTW draft for Dada Comics back in 2007...
Please, mods. Discard this anyway.
Rock'n'roll never dies!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.
Edited by WarJay77 Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessI'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.Being handled here.

Requesting a mod discard here. The draft is in obviously lack-luster condition, but has already attracted 12 bombs and people seem to be posting specifically for the sake of it. In other words...yeah. Let's not do this again. I want a mod to discard it to prevent another incident.
It has no content anyway, so if the sponsor really intends to work on it, they could restart in 2 seconds.
