As a long-time lurker but new user, I see little reason to ever even attempt to participate on a forum with moderation rules like this. This may be speculation but I'm guessing many others would make the same cost/benefit analysis.
1000 karma can't be a high bar if someone like me can have over 4000.
You've also been here for almost 4 years. So that would be nearly a year of being treated like a second class citizen. I agree with the parent that this would stifle participation by newer users.
The majority of it was from a tiny number of comments and submissions in a small amount of time.

Someone like me will never bother. It might as well be 1,000,000.
