I've read the various announcement threads and found a few threads where people asked questions, but this question hasn't been answered. If it has, I haven't been able to find it.

Let's say I have a quality post score of 13.34. (In fact, I do did as I write this!)

Does this mean I can get credit for 13 (I'd guess it'd be rounded down) posts per day? I'm not too worried. I'll hit your minimum threshold pretty easily! I'm a prolific poster. It's what I do!

Anyhow, I still don't get how that works. If I missed a thread that makes that clear, could someone share that link with me? Thanks.

I don't think the value is as significant as the color of the stat.  The stat resets every day.  When the quality stat gets to 3 it turns green.  

What prompted that stat was @Dynamo's goal to get rid of spam posts that are made by members on the last day of the month in a race to make their 20 posts.  There were a few members who were making all of their posts on almost the last day, in quick succession to the equivalent of one-liner spam posts.  Dynamo and the staff then decided to limit the number of posts a member can make to 4 posts per day. Some members complained and he then went to considerable effort to find a way whereby quality posters would not be impacted. Where the quality stat comes in, if one has reached past 3 quality points and the points turn green, then all posts that are made in excess of the four quality posts get added.  This way @Dynamo wants to ensure quality contributors don't get penalized at the expense of the target group with low quality posts whose posts have been marked for cut off at 4 posts.
