Is it coincidence that the new regulations of the forum is made on April 1st? Nope.
Mr. Theymos made this new set of requirements not to fool the members of the forum but in order to solve the problem in bitcointalk.
But I would like to say that after a week there are lots of issues and protests that will be made in this thread again. Like what happened on the merit system. Well, it does not matter at all since Sir Theymos knows what is better in the forum!
It might be a difficult to go with the flow because I am alsi a newbie but I am here to learn and I am hoping that someday, I will reach the higher ranks.
