I was curious:
Theymos announced the "Enhanced newbie restrictions & requirements" in post 45810047. This was on Sep 17 06:27 (Dutch time).
Post 45752895 was made 24 hours earlier, and post 45853867 was made 24 hours later.
Post 45705944 was made 48 hours earlier, post 45894771 was made 48 hours later.
Post 45469471 was made 1 week (plus 7 minutes) earlier, post =I'll update this next week was made 1 week (plus 7 minutes) later.
That means:

In 24 hours before the announcement, 57152 posts were made.
In 24 hours after the announcement, 43820 posts were made.
In 48 hours before the announcement, 104103 posts were made.
In 48 hours after the announcement, 84724 posts were made.
In 1 week (+7 minutes) before the announcement, 340576 posts were made.
In 1 week (+7 minutes) after the announcement, ZZZ posts were made.

In 24 hours, that's 23.3% less posts.
In 48 hours, that's 18.6% less posts.
In 1 week, that's zzz% less ( Huh

) posts.

When I click Show unread posts since last visit., I can now see some actual real threads again! There is still ANN and BOUNTY pollution, but in between are real topics (I have no boards on ignore on this account).

Update: theymos posted data on the number of posts per day in the past 30 days.

I see on this forum merit very important? No, it's very important to people who do bounty, bitcointalk worth trying to limit spam? but i see everyone doing bounty not just jr member, not too many jr members, the problem is the bounty of the ICO, all the ICO ask for the post number / 1 week => everyone want to do bounty they have to cmt => lots of post / 1 day and can not avoid spam, who dare sure everyone from rank member up not spam? When bitcointalk requests merit for jr member it makes a lot of people unable to do bounty and reduces the number of commet, which is very easy to understand, if bitcointalk can give up bounty with signature ("I know it is funny when I say this, but there is a vicious circle: making bounty => comment => many comments become spam to complete the bounty task) without the bounty on the forum signature will become true with the forum of crypto,Spammers will disappear, only those who want to exchange knowledge, skills, experience .... will stay, you can count how many post / 1 day, that is the actual number you ưant, with me: bounty = spammer,
