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.
Thanks for that! I hollered the duplicate wish I made to get it closed. Got ninja'd by a minute.
There's beauty in even the smallest moments.I think it'd be more convenient for the Report form to have "This page has already been flagged for Content Violation" and list previous threads right there. Since threads tag the page in the title, they should be easy to list.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupThe three revenge reports, for reference.
I'm lovin' it. (My Troper Wall)Page content may change, so I'd prefer an "are you sure? This has already been reviewed" to an absolute block on reporting the page again.
I think that works better, yeah.
There's beauty in even the smallest moments.Seconded. I'm with Mrph and Floater on this one.
I'm lovin' it. (My Troper Wall)Wouldn't it be better if "This has already been reviewed" was a link to "reviewed where"?
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupHow about a third option?
If a page was once flagged and dealt with, the proposed mod-only checkbox doesn't disable flagging the page entirely, but (along with the warning that the page was already flagged) pushes the report to a queue.
Then, mods can (based on whether they think it's a revenge report or not) choose to approve or delete the report. Approving the report opens a CV thread, while deleting the report would not.
Of course, this puts more of a workload on the mods, but I feel like it could be a feasible solution if the other two don't work out.
There's beauty in even the smallest moments.^ What's the difference from how this works currently? All CV reports are queued already.

Moderators could have access to a checkbox/button which disables the "This page may violate the Content Policy" checkbox in the report page dialog, to be used for pages which have already been reviewed.
So for a page like Cuties (which has been revenge-reported three times within twenty four hours by now-bounced users), the idea is that simply ticking the box would stop the revenge-reporting entirely.
Relevant discussion starts here.
