Limit how many projects and curators a manager of a studio can remove from it at once

Occasionally, managers sabotage studios by removing every last project and curator. These situations are hard to recover from.

To prevent this, I propose a new limitation: Scratchers can remove a limited number of projects and curators per day in each studio they manage. My idea for the numbers:
  • 10 projects
  • 1 other manager
  • 3 other curators
These limitations let managers have some additional control, but not enough to destroy the studio. Anything over those limits, and the manager would have to ask the host to do it for them, whom would still be able to remove as many projects and people as they wanted.

+ No more studio “raids”, at least not as big ones as before.
– Might affect some managers' abilities to, well, manage.

Feel free to discuss how strict the limits should be or how this would help/affect your studio(s).

Limit how many projects and curators a manager of a studio can remove from it at once

Hmm… I feel like 1 manager a day is too few. How about a percentage of managers instead? Like they could only add (round to ceiling) 25% of managers, or something else like that? Same should go for curators, but since you can have unlimited curators there should be something like 30% but caps at 50 users. So if there are 300 people in a studio, 30% of that would be 90, but since this is over 50 you could only remove 50.

The numbers I'm giving (25%, 30%, 50) are just examples that could be changed. All I'm proposing is that your system work a little differently.

We just don't want to make it too high, otherwise unwanted actions from managers would be hard to undo, though, it's not like this is happening constantly, either.

I think that making it too low would cause people to get angry with the update and find it annoying. Plus, you can easily see what managers were removed by going to the studio activity, but if the studio was super active those may be buried.

Another idea: What if instead of a 24-hour wait, it would be a shorter wait, but there would be more restrictions on things. So you can only remove 10% of managers an hour, instead of 25% in 24-hours. (Again, these numbers can be changed.) This will be better because a host likely won't be inactive for 24-hours, and if someone is raiding a studio they will be able to stop it before too much damage is done.

Yup, the wait could be shorter. I had that in mind.
