I'm fully endorsing the new change, which I have always thought should have been introduced even earlier. There are really too many spamming accounts and the lowest level spam has actually risen in the past months. I'm speaking about those posts which have NOTHING to do with the threads they are posted in - and they are probably made by the way of bots and they pollute every thread.
I don't care if I'm becoming a Newbie again. My posts are probably too average to get merited, but that's it, I take it easy and I'm quite indifferent to rank. It would be much much worse to see all those herds of shitposters saying nothing often out of place and in a broken English ranking up to Legendary status and thus turning this whole rank system into a total farce.
