@LalitTolani The main goal of the new procedure is to reign in the most prolific answerers. The quality standards are for
all users, and even new users should be made aware of the quality standards (as articulated here
math.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/9959/… ). However, the new enforcement effort is primarily targeted towards long-time users (e.g. those with more than 10k rep) who continually and consistently answer low-quality questions.
