Go To

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 was going to alter bombs so that instead you'll be forced to give a "reason", aka what needs work. Then those reasons would display below the draft for all bombs.

This adds the functionality you're talking about and also should deter randomly bombing TL Ps for no reason. (or poor reasons)

Bombing with no specific reason is forbidden, so requiring a comment sound snice.

I've been in favor of requiring bombing comments too. (Hat comments also, but those are less necessary and would only be to stop people from over-hatting or manipulating the hat count with socks or something). All I'll say is that I hope the reasons are something we can fill out, and not relegated to a list of options, as it's not always going to be possible to cover every possible issue with a pre-determined response list.

It will definitely be a custom text box since, as you said, there's no way to cover every possible issue.

So far I've argued all my hats or bombs, yet I find it surprising that none of the regulars seem to be doing it. I guess a half-way measure would be to place a hat or bomb icon next to each poster's avatar, and also making anonymous hatting or bombing impossible without a message in the draft.

AFK with issues, will return
