Prudence, I'm sure most people would support your actions in deleting excessive pics when they are part of a batch of very similar ones, especially if there is little effort at being creative with the shots. If those people want to be vindictive and rate your pics poorly, that's their childish problem. Everyone knows the rating system sucks and is open to abuse; I pay it no attention at all, and refuse to use it. I'm glad you won't let them beat you, because the rest of us shouldn't be denied sharing your cool pics because of a few bratty malcontents.
As for the main topic of this thread, I agree in principle I've been away from the site for a month or so, so I don't know if this is has become a huge problem or not in that time. One pic is fine, especially if you drop in a link to a hosting site as already suggested. But seven or eight or more pics of figures on figure stands on a kitchen table don't grab my interest. I won't even bother looking at them or commenting on them.
Oh, and btw, that "dress on prom night" comment was a gem!
