It's reduced the amount of posts, doubt that the average quality has changed that much. I see just as much junk posted from high level accounts as from Jrs.
Giving old accounts a lot of merit when the system was released was a mistake, they've since mostly been giving merit out to eachother.
I disagree with your opinion, sometimes the rank of Jrs also needs their aspirations to be asked in this forum.
I don't think all Jrs accounts make junk posts, but need to be reminded if their posts aren't quality.
