Why don't you just keep the rules to get access to mavs the same, but put a defined set of rules that are strictly enforced and just ban/block people from the mav channel if they are not following the rules? I am not sure this change is needed.

You could also then open it up to long time community members like myself that are still loyal to the game, but invest in different ways. I have invested a crap load of money into this game, but because I don't have 100k SPS staked, I am not as important? Doesn't seem to make sense.
