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.

Could be helpful to have another field alongside signature and account age.

i dont think we can control what someone else finds humorous, or offensive, and we can’t properly enforce this rule perfectly since you can identify as anything.

I'm fine with it being just a plaintext field with no checks. If someone's profile is offensive (this includes signatures and avatars) people can always ask a mod for an opinion.

Do we have a page on what’s considered “offensive” or are they all case-by-case?

Since mods are able to delete avatars, signatures, and titles, I think it would make sense to allow mods to delete the contents of this field if anyone abuses it in the way mentioned in the opening post.

We have forum rules, which includes signatures (not avatars) and is generally up to "good faith behavior". Mods are able to remove signatures and profile images that are inappropriate. If there should be specific rules, we may have to Wiki Talk one.

We aren’t going to police the pronouns since people can identify as anything it would be very hard to differentiate all the joke-cases from the real ones and you can already add it to your title as you said. Closing this.

The badge shop is also coming back soon and we have some LGBTQ+ badges that allows you to add custom text.
