What’s this gonna do to the platform?
If this is the case then hopefully remove some incentives for lazy grifters, spammers, AI botters and SEO farmers. If regular users can see your comment and search engines can not I think that is perfectly fine. With time your account will not be new. This is exactly how I operated phpBB forums using ranks and it worked out great. This does nothing to prevent new people from joining and participating in conversations.
