No, it was a number of factors.
First take a look at the timing of the rule. The contest that came before when the rule was added, was it a repeat of the January/February 07 or the November/December 07 contests that either me or Sonic master submitted a lot of subpar levels? No, it wasn't. Making it look like nothing was currently calling for the rule to exist.
So, let me get this straight. You don't think it should have been added, because the damage was already done. But... what about later contests, when someone decides they want to post a lot of levels? Just because a rule was late for some other contests doesn't mean it shouldn't restrict a flow in later contests.
And actually, to be frank, you
still submit a lot of subpar levels. Little has changed in that regard.
