User blog comment:MasterGarfield/The Usercane Problem./@comment-15419758-20170924055258/@comment-11987506-20170924122111

This reminds me of an idea made by DarrenDude back in September 2016 (which did not pass). However, this does nothing to address the current usercane problem, which Garfield even addressed in this blog post.

In fact, if this goes into effect, that means: more users will start editfarming just to get classified. The pressure cap won't do much, as we live pretty much in a fickle age. Users care more about usercane wind speeds than their usercane pressure. Users will still continue to request rights, especially new users who have little to no knowledge of how the usercane system works.

Another problem about this is the fact it will be very time-consuming. I don't think Bob or another NUC forecaster has time to change all of the current usercanes if that idea goes into effect. A better solution is to create a blog post (and pin it) explaining to new users how usercanes work.
