Yeah, they gave a "second chance" to all the boards with this new updated rules, but for instance the boards that were excluded by the regular post count in the past, will be watched too this year (like the News board), so somehow the new rules as a whole are a bit stricter.

Sorry if it makes no sense.

It does make sense, instead.

The post count per day is calculated using the monthly average, so the number of posts of a whole month will be divided for the number of days of that month, this way if a board has a slow week, it can make up for that in the next one.

Anyway, there're also the 48 Hours Rule to take into consideration:

If we notice that any forum goes for more than 48 Hours without a post, we’ll send a warning Private Message to the moderators of that forum, and we'll do an immediate post count for that forum, starting with the date that the warning was issued, and ending one week later, and if that forum has a weekly post count that is less than 100 posts, it will be closed. If that forum meets the 100 post count requirement, but if it goes for another 48 hours without a post any time within the next six months after we issue that warning, it will be closed without any further warnings.
