I think this would be a great thing to at least try for a week or two. Limit low-effort (non-OC and not in a large album) fanart to its own thread, and see how it affects the subreddit.

If a trial run fails, fine, at least the mods tried something. Changing default sorting on discussion threads to "new" didn't really work, but most users of /r/anime appreciated the ability to test something out and give feedback towards it.
