Those too stubborn to alter their articles to make it something acceptable are the kind of users we don't want or want to "improve upon"(Myself, for instance).

This tier system can make the new users who are not like that be more prominent, of which is good. It would also make it far easier to spot the kind of users we don't want.

Also, to many people this would be healthy for article improvement because the editor knows that there is a reward for it. Like, I would strive to get an article from, say, bronze to silver, and further, and I know that I am not the only user who has been here that has this mindset.
