Well, they froze the comments and put up a notice that they're reconsidering the nominations rule. Though honestly, I doubt they'd truly succeed in preventing bloating - I mean, people will just coordinate or get their dentists to help out. But it's probably a good way to scare off potential newcomers...

Of course, they also seem to be doing something funny to character eligibility that will rule out anything with a character named Sherlock Holmes, nomatter how small or different from Doyle...

Those new mods are really not making a good first impression...
