I kinda doubt that people who don't care about thread quality care much about who posts the thread. Also it's not like people are instantly banned for making bad threads. They will get their fair warnings fist.

I'm not 100% sure what you're saying here, but some of the worst offenders for thread quality over the years have been among the most popular users here.

I'm pretty sure those popular users are able to adjust their posting habits when they are properly warned. It's not like they're posting out of altruism.

See it this way. If those people had been warned from day 1 the following things would've happened: 1) they would stop posting trash and have an eye on their thread quality while becoming more popular. 2) They would stop posting instantly and and you wouldn't have to ban them in the first place. Sounds like a win-win for the forum.
