Not posting in threads you don't like is much easier than getting frustrated, I'm not posting in threads I think aren't worthwhile, so where is the problem?

Better to have them redirected to a controlled environment where those who wish to participate can do so rather than seeing them snuck in everywhere else.
As for the new rule, if you can't present your idea thoroughly in 30 days, it wasn't ready for publication. Consider it incentive to take the time and bake it fully before you involve those of us who will stress test it for you. Short of that, you're really just wasting everybody's valuable time.

As I said, people will not post their fully baked ideas in BAUT, it's quite simple, the rule will be a barrier, just wait and see.
Cheers.
