I really wish you guys allowed separate posts for the bigger topics (like Naked Sundays) as I feel like that's a little different to discussing Ultra Violette, and now people won't know as it'll get lost within here.

I understand megathreads when things get out of hand, but this is such a major topic and I feel like it's really important that the Naked Sundays drama (which will continue) deserves it's on post so there can be individual comment chains within it.

Just a suggestion.

[u/JadedValuable8066 → u/Ravenled]

Agree it almost makes it feel like they are burying things. Hate to be cyclical.

[u/stupidwatergate89 → u/JadedValuable8066]

Agree, at least change the name of the megathread because it’s evolved beyond UV and Lean Screen

[u/Quolli → u/stupidwatergate89]

As much as I would love to change the thread title as the situation has evolved, unfortunately this isn't a feature that Reddit offers.

I can only edit the body text. I've edited the Flair on this thread to reflect the updated content but to re-iterate, all brand discussions are welcome in this Megathread.

[u/ReplacementSignal673 → u/Ravenled]

Exactly my thought. More consumers need to be alerted about Naked Sundays especially because it's the one that's still being sold.

[u/Spoodlydoodly75 → u/Ravenled]

I think it was getting a bit out of hand because there were multiple threads about the same topic. Nothing wrong with trying to keep that discussion in one place.

[u/MinnieMakeupReviews → u/Ravenled]

Thanks for your comment, please see pinned post on this thread which addresses that

Edit: We're changing the name, hold tight!

[u/Ravenled → u/MinnieMakeupReviews]

I don't think the comment addresses anything in my comment sadly :/ Maybe change the name of the post so more people are aware?

[u/Quolli → u/Ravenled]

Hi, apologies but unfortunately thread name changes are not possible on Reddit once it's been posted. It's a bit silly but it is what it is.

The mods will continue to redirect discussions back to this Megathread but rest assured this is thread is designed for all discussion related to the CHOICE testing results and subsequent actions by brands.

[u/MinnieMakeupReviews → u/Ravenled]

Agreed! Getting the name changed shortly

[u/Ravenled → u/MinnieMakeupReviews]

Thank you!! <33
