As your friendly neighborhood Admin Team, the gang here at TVTropes HQ is always working to improve the site.
Many of those improvements begin with suggestions posted right here, on the Community Wishlist. Is there a feature you really want on TVTropes? Post it.
Is there something we could be doing better? We want to know. Do you think we look fat in these pants? We were totally afraid of that. See a bug? Report it.
Important things to know:
- We're all about that content-creation life! The top contenders for our attention are ideas that'll create more content, like the video uploading feature, or speed up launching new pages. On the flip side, design or layout tweaks won't be our top priority.
- Help us dig through the goldmine of old wishlist items! If you have an old request gathering dust or spot one you're totally on board with, give it a bump and a like. There's a treasure trove of 6+ years' worth of ideas just waiting to be rediscovered. Items without enough love may not make the cut and will be closed.
- Was your wishlist item locked up without an explanation? It was most likely disapproved or just too big of a task versus the benefit it would ultimately have. Time is precious, and we want to focus on updates with the biggest bang for the buck. Don't be discouraged though! We appreciate every idea and we're always listening.
I'm not sure about that being a good idea. It leads people to just look at the rating instead of the review's actual substance.
What if the rating was posted at the bottom of the review, huh?
Currently Reading: N/AMy opinion is that it's not a good idea. IMO, the last thing we need is more review-bombing or review-inflation like Metacritic or Rotten Tomatoes. There's plenty of stuff like that out there on the broader Internet.
^^ Most sites with review scores do that, but people just scroll/swipe down anyway. And like SilverCrown noted, review-bombing/inflating is rampant elsewhere. Do you have any specific reasons for wanting a ratings system?
Nothing is stopping you from putting a 3/5 at the bottom of the review on your own
I wish that reviews gave us the ability to rate the work in question, whether it be with lampshades, stars, faces, or really whatever. I'm honestly surprised we haven't done something like this sooner.
