Any system and rules will always try to abuse. And to take such cardinal measures, completely remove the number 0 from the number of applications is wrong in relation to other beginners who do not yet have a single merit. I have not just made a self-moderated theme, all spam requests I will remove. And of course I will look at the trust, so that the whole farms did not go here for the merit. All this will be deleted.
Very happy with the way you replied. I did not want to steal the opportunity from the hands of Newbies or brand new accounts as it was not my intention, I was just curious how that load came so quick in minutes. Only the better posters be ranking up, good luck with your work.

You gave a good example, and I don't think anyone can be judged with just 1 post even if they write too good a post. Instead of removing that 0, can't you add an extra criteria of a few 'number of posts' needed before they apply? Like 5, 10 or 20 posts in their account minimum?
