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 don't like this idea. Just because a draft gets 5 bombs doesn't mean it's suddenly unsalvageable, and that's what the discard pile is meant to be for. If anything this would only lead to people gaming the system to dogpile drafts they want to see discarded. People need to stop dogpiling drafts, but this isn't the answer to that problem.

Maybe a better idea is to lock the bomb button whenever there's net 5 bombs and unlock it whenever it's above that.

^ I like that idea. Along with disabling bombs for new drafts for a day and letting the sponsor have a grace period to listen to feedback.

Right, a changing cap for bombs would work much better.

Would it be a good idea to have a similar net cap of 5 for hats, because those likewise aren't likes?
I'm wondering if I should repost my suggestion to its own thread for better visibility.

Probably.

^ That's done.
I think I’ve suggested this before. It could help curb toxic TLP culture and draft dogpiling, and reinforce bombs as a means of discarding drafts and not a glorified downvote button.
