Fok, if SW&D thread thumbs comments were the problem, is it not possible to selectively disable the thumbs comment feature in that subforum and leave it active in MC?
It really did help sweep up a large number of trivial comments into its system, while also encouraging rapid instant feedback. I know that I for one have posted more comments in the WAYWRN thread using the thumbs feature than I ever bothered to do when multiquoted. To provide feedback to, say, five outfits through the multiquote system requires a fair bit of editing of those quoted posts to remove/spoiler photos & generally compress the thread so the quote isn't egregiously long, and that's even before you get around to commenting on the content. I really can't be bothered with all that. So there'll be less feedback overall, plus the return of people requoting whole pictures just to add "looks great". Admittedly, some people never stopped doing that, but overall, the thumbs helped with it a lot.
It's a shame to lose that in MC, especially if the abuse was relatively isolated to SW&D, as has been suggested upthread.
