It seems fine to me to restrict new users in this way - most of them probably weren't getting anywhere near the old limits, or even the new ones, anyway. (It's unfortunately common on sites like this for someone to make an account to ask a single question and then disappear into the ether, having never had any intent to become part of a community - and I doubt that anything could be done about it.) However, I would like to see it become easier, not harder, to establish curators. In the long run, the resources needed to curate a successful (both active enough for the outside world to be broadly aware of Codidact, and maintained well enough to promote the site's vision) should not be underestimated. It's important for new users to see a front page full of questions that meet the site standards, rather than one full of posts that could be found on generic technical discussion forums; and it's important for all users to be able to find top-quality, relevant material as easily as possible.
