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.
if bombs are truly "dont launch this for X reason" then shouldn't a draft be unable to be launched if it has any bombs at all? In the updates ill be giving mods the power to purge all bombs and hats (separately) so that could be part of it?
Or maybe drafts can't be launched with more than 5 bombs or something? I'd think having zero would be too extreme since people won't remove their bombs if it takes too long to launch or they become inactive and might be too much work for the mods to oversee that?
Now monitoring Wishlist and Bugs
^^ I'm don't think this is really necessary. The amount of net hats only needs to range from 5 (ready to launch) to -5 (ready to nuke), so just limit it to that and prevent launching below 5 (and likewise nuking above -5), like what I've proposed here.
So, you guys have made it so that only tropes with 5 more hats than bombs can be launched, which is a fine implementation.
But with the upcoming feature of requiring a reason for submitting a hat or a bomb, I would like for the amount of bombs compared to hats to change too.
Something always did tick me off that a TLP Draft with 20 bombs but 40 hats can technically be launched. That bomb-to-hat ratio really doesn't look good; it's basically 1:2.
So I'd like a rule that stipulates a trope can only be launched if there are 5 more hats an bombs AND if the bomb-to-hat ratio is less than a certain ratio, like "1:2" or something.
