The Feedback site fails: moderation silences deep posts, Topics are messy, and UX blocks real engagement.
The 3-question plan:
1. Transparent Moderation
What? Review flagged posts within 12 hours; notify rejections with reasons and allow edits/resubmission.
Why? Keeps high-quality, detailed feedback and restores trust.
How? Publish moderation rules, a queue with timestamps, appeal/edit flow, and public moderation logs.
2. Revamped Topics
What? Expand and prune Topics; let users suggest/create topics (limited, reviewed).
Why? Better organization and discoverability without rigid, dumb categories.
How? Auto-suggest topics on submit, vote to promote useful new topics, merge duplicates.
3. Better Access & Submission
What? Integrate into the Launcher, allow 3000 words, restore usernames.
Why? Reduce friction; enable full proposals and community recognition.
How? Launcher button, mobile editor, image attachments, link attachments, video attachments, etc. Also, request to answer (What/Why/How).
More suggestions: reputation/badges for trusted contributors, bookmark/follow posts, advanced search/filters, duplicate-merge tool, staff status updates, public roadmap link, threaded comments, and a dev analytics dashboard.
