I think it's good idea. It will maybe stop copy-pasting posts. But I think, there is no reason to attach number (count) of posts to SP of user. Someone even with a low SP maybe can write many great posts a day. But it will be useful to set a limit of posts per day for all. My IMHO.

Are there really many copy and paste posts on here? I genuinely so far have not noticed any. But I am still trying to catch my breath as I swim along, learning as I go . I posted my thoughts below.. x
I suspect there are a lot of copy and paste posts because there are a lot of great articles that have italics and other things that would occur when copying and pasting.
I see what you mean, I had not seen it that way xx
Are you kidding me? they are every where... haven't you heard about wang(or his variations weing,wong,wung)? or even "weenis" right here, you just need to scroll down.
There have been some. When I see a post which resembles something I posted previously then I just drop my post with a link to my post in there. As long as they don't quote word for word my post, and as long as they drop a reference, I'm all for remixing and modification of posts. I just think people who do that should cite their sources like they are supposed to and I always go out of my way to cite my sources.
This way if my posts do get a lot of votes then they can look at my references and reward the posters who inspired my posts. Bots would have a very easy time looking for references and rewarding them if references were made into a machine readable metadata.
