Although the central place for design discussion is ##crawl-dev on freenode, some may find it helpful to discuss requests and suggestions here first.

Make net traps not drop anything if they fail

so apparently while you can't disarm net traps anymore, they can still give you nets if you activate them and they fail
this is ridiculously scummy and tedious (and optimal since nets are rare & amazing) please remove devs
e: alternately just remove mechanical traps for real

Re: Make net traps not drop anything if they fail

also, if caught in a net in a situation where you're in no danger (e.g. a net trap), it's optimal to switch away from your weapon (unless you have claws, in which case you should switch to a non-vorpal, non-flaming, non-slicing weapon) and put on any -str/+dex items you have, to maximize your chance of your character trying to slip out of the net rather than destroying it.
