| Jul 18 at 10:28 | comment | added | Weird Glyphs | Honestly, using Sandbox as a tool to choose good underhanded questions seems like a bad idea. Only a small fraction of CGCC users are actually going there to check other question ideas, which means that well-established users with ideas based around popular topics have at least a good chance to be approved, while regular users with more obscure topics will have to beg in TNB for people to come judge their challenge, and nobody is going to show up. In other words, the upvotes you are going to receive are not a good indicator for the quality of the challenge itself. | |

| Jul 17 at 19:30 | comment | added | Wheat Wizard Mod | I think that's a better start, but I think most people are going to assume challenges are not banned when they see them. | |
| Jul 17 at 16:42 | comment | added | Themoonisacheese | @WheatWizard what about it being done the other way? the tag is nominally banned, but good posts in the sandbox may be granted exceptions? | |
| Jul 17 at 16:21 | comment | added | Wheat Wizard Mod | This doesn't seem like a great idea to me. What's going to happen is that users are going to ask an code-trolling question, unaware that there are any rules about them, and then get told "Uhm actually you needed to sandbox this etc. etc." This is much more annoying and frustrating to the user than being told "Nice idea, but we decided we don't do that here". | |
