I have to agree with @turkishcrew. I did find that my abilities were restored yesterday. One difference I've noticed is that RC is continuously replenished.

One strong downside is the arbitrary reduction in SP delegation for new users. Let's face it, people are not going pay to post to a platform that poses a lot of uncertainty
