I think this rule is a good basis for beginners if you want to level up. Because it will reduce unreasonable posts (SPAM) in this forum, and people who are used to spam only to fulfill their quota will definitely increase twice before posting. However, back again for those who really want to study seriously, because they have a tendency that might not make sense or be more logical for people who already know a lot about what is being discussed, of course they certainly need time as a 'Newbie' for gelatin really start to benefit others.
so I think personally, this new rule is very effective for Bitcointalk forums to minimize the SPAMMER which is already very troubling, also with this system, people will try to make quality Post and contribute seriously to raise rank and get 'Merit' and indirectly stimulates the intention of members to read more posts in their entirety while trying to write posts that are useful to all Forum readers, rather than doing 'SPAM' which is sure to be detrimental because it is BANNED PERMANENT if proven doing it.
The culture of giving merits to good content and reasonable answer is considered as shit post and those who put good content are missing merits
