Prematurely launched pages and pages that weren't fully fleshed out at the point of launching, are a big problem. Since these usually share several problems at once, this thread is aimed at re-running them through the TLP for fixing - the usual fix - or cutting them if they are too bad.
Problems this thread deals with include bad names, not enough/bad examples, unclear description, etc.
For the interested, here's a list of recently created pages
. Launches
Note: Please do not request a mod to unlaunch drafts that don't have any issues besides lacking a launch notice/24hr launch notice. While 24hr launch notices are mandatory, there are a few exceptions to the rule. If you see a draft's sponsor launch a TLP without an announcement, it's best to remind them of our TLP Guidelines first. If they continue to repeatedly launch drafts without a launch notice, you can report them on Ask The Tropers or the TLP Community Issues thread.

Hence the reason why Engineers should be given unlaunch permissions. (Granted, I think the mods do a good job unlaunching TLP drafts, but allowing Engineers to unlaunch rogue/stealth-launched drafts isn't a bad idea.)

There's some hope we may get coding fixes soon-ish. Anyway, I unlaunched that one for not following protocol. ~Eviler Than Thou, you ought to know better.

^ I don't understand what I did wrong. I made the trope, I made a point to say that I was launching it this week, the hats overwhelmed the bombs. What am I missing?

You do not launch a trope without giving 24 hours notice in the comments and respecting any outstanding questions or issues.

^ So saying that I was launching it Tuesday in the Laconic section of the TLP description doesn't count?

I'm putting Self-Therapy up for adoption. I don't think i want to fight this battle.

You need to respond to discussion and engage with the comments; adding something in the laconic is a start but isn't helpful if there are unaddressed concerns.

Masquerade Enforcer AKA Masquerade Motivator was stealth launched.

Rock'n'roll never dies!
pinging ~coinage to this thread to discuss.
TRS Wick Cleaning
Huh, hello? I got the ping.
Very Spooky
You’re supposed to notify everybody 24 hours in advance before launching a trope, and all unanswered questions and feedback should be responded to.
back lol
Not to mention that you didn't change the name before launching.

Yeah, that's not the best name for it...
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.
The Draftsman of Doom
Was I too hasty to launch Previously Overlooked Paramour? I did launch it after putting it off for a while, having given plenty of notice that I intended to do so, but then launched it when it was in Just Launch It Already! territory. I want to make sure I didn't make any missteps in the launch. ~Willbyr, am I in the clear? If not, I promise not to repeat my mistake.

Feels good, don't it?

Masquerade Enforcer Aka Masquerade Motivator launched with minimum time and hats, and with a less-than-ideal name while naming discussion was seemingly still ongoing. Should something be done?
Mods are gonna send it back, don't worry.
Could be worse
Did Defiant Strip get stealth launched? Its TLP was only 3 days old and I don't remember seeing a launch pre-advise.
Everything can be found on the Internet... except common sense.

Sounds like it to me.

- Bait-and-Switch Time Skip
- Speed Demon
- Even The Loving Hero Hates Them
- Jerks Are Worse Than Villains

Is a suspension in order?
Big Catch, Sparkle Edition
Rogue-Launching one draft is a suspension ticket, so most likely.
But damn, they didn't even read the drafts, did they? The most recent still has the sponsor notes on it!

Got 'em all. That's a permanent TLP ban.

I think that's the second time the Jerks Are Worse Than Villains was rouge launched.
