I don't. Just speaking from experience but the few times I've used the trope talk for clarification were duds. I guess that's just not what people use that section for.
Image Pickin' is mentioned in the subject of this thread but then barely at all after. Most of the 80-plus post discussion is about TRS; it seems like it should be a TRS-only issue.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.^ Especially since IP is still short of the cap by a good bit, or was last I looked. TRS is always hovering around the cut-off point.
All your safe space are belong to TrumpComing late to this, but I think improving the TRS must be viewed as a cultural thing. Technical changes should have a clear intent how to support the desired culture. (I think several people here grok this, but it never hurts to spell out.)
If one takes a look at Arc Words TRS
, one trouble that sticks out is that the shift from decision to implementation isn't terribly clear - one month was spent in inaction after the decision was made without anything happening.
Basically, it had been decided to transplant the existing trope to a new name (decided in TRS through crowner) and the old trope name would be used with a new definition (that fit the misuse). But should we get new YKTTW threads for both the "new" tropes, or only one of them? And deciding on trope names in TRS seems backwards, isn't that the job of YKTTW?
Which brings me to YKTTW, which to me is a frightening mess right now. But that's a discussion for another day.
Also, a lot of the time bad names went through YKTTW to begin with (though a lot of the time they're premature launches). The TRS crew is generally better at spotting problem names, which means they're better at avoiding them. Now maybe the TRS crew should hang out at YKTTW more, but again, that's another matter.
Your line of reasoning seems to suggest moving threads in the implementation phase to another forum, which I think has been suggested and rejected before on the grounds that the people who bring up a problem should be expected to do the work of solving it or something like that.

Isn't the "Final Action" button supposed to be affixed to threads that have a decision and need implementing?
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.I think it would have more effect if we could see it on the overall Wiki and Forums
page. That's where I go to get updates, and the star doesn't show up there.
The Pending Final Action tags work only as long as they are used consistently. I have used them in the past; until I can free up some time for TRS work I can't ask for more usage.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanOn a sidenote, this might be a good moment to implement the "approval needed for thread" idea, considering that we are a few slots below the thread cap.
I'll give some thoughts on the "resolving TRS topics" issues soon; I have to mull over it a bit.
