A bit ?
From what you said , with people making hero members in a day , it seems like the time taken has changed from a day to make a Hero Member to a year and a third. 420 days is more than a small duration.
The current system is pretty good, I don't see a post a day being spammy except in rare cases.
Okay maybe I should use "a lot" instead.

My main point is, there is IMO no way to really stop account farming and slowing it down is already the best we can do.
And yes, I like the activity system as well.
The account farmers don't work really well IMO.
You kinda stop trusting them when you notice that the hero member who wants to trade a lot has posted only in giveaway threads and random altcoins for a long long time.
