All,

Some of you might have followed the recent improvement with Artcle Feedback
Tool v5 (AFTv5) , for those who didnt please read[1]. Even before reading
the entire page, something struck me. The design is strangely synonymous
with Indian comment boards. I strongly feel, having this on India articles
will generate more trash than any feedback and 100x load more on editors to
cut the junk, moderate etc. If you are not familiar with Indian message
boards, please read[2] (That was a very tough RS to catch which is self
mocking given the site's reputation!). AFTv5 is looking for feedback, I
hope this thread can give some constructive feedback given the list
audience's familiarity with Indian message boards.

PS : Am also poking Oliver Keyes to follow this thread.
