The time period is actually 28 days and not three weeks.
This is not a “new” feature and is something we previously had, until the software was updated 2 years ago or so, the time back then was also set to 28 days.
The forum staff team will be looking into how it works in reality (we have already granted one exemption for a member in the Quiz forum), as it is understood that many members have joined the forum in the time in which we have previously not been running this and posting patterns have changed since then.
I personally have never heard of these blogs being linked to on the forum, but it is also worth noting that I personally would have previously manually merged double posts where they are seen, so this is not really a major change as it just automated something that the forum staff were already doing.
