Should Niantic apply a min CP level for pokemons to left guarding a gym?

Most people tend to leave low CP pokemon in gyms just to spite some colors or people. I think it would be better if Niantic applied a min CP level to be able to be left on a gym.
For example: If you are level 20 - 30 you can only assign pokemon above 1500 or more. At that level you are expected to have decent CP pokemon so it would help mantain a gym longer and won't annoy people seeing that low CP pokemon are being left in their gyms.

You do realise that you’re also stopping players from putting one of the best defenders as well?

No. Deal with it. C'est la vie.

Yesterday I fought a 2000 CP Pokemon at the gym and it was more fun than usual. However I don't think that any limits are necessary. There are lots of reasons why people can't put their best Pokemon in gyms, like they need them for raids or are in a hurry. Also don't forget that there are people who just started the game and won't be able to defeat any gym if all the Pokemon there are higher level. And, after all, we put Pokemon there so that they were defeated soon. No need to defend gyms nowadays.

That might be nice. Spoofers here like to drop 6 low level mons in gyms here. A real pain for remote gyms with poor reception

Daft idea that makes no sense.

I find Blisseys more annoying than Pidgeys myself. Maybe Blisseys should be banned from gyms?

No. Put in every single low CP mon you want. I'll take it over a level 40 snorlax/blissey/chansey any day. Anyone would.

Real defenders might annoy some attackers IF they are fully motivated. But as soon as a guy stops and attacks the gym is lost cuz anyone can win 6 vs 6. Not to mention that motivation makes it even more easier and faster for attackers.
Why Revive the Blissey/Snorlax every time when u can simply throw away the dead Pidgey which collects the same amount of coins in 9/10 cases?

In theory, it would potentially be more frustrating for someone trying to take down a gym of low CP pokemon only to see them back to full strength after each cycle with others continually feeding them.

No but they should make it so people cannot gray gyms.

No, but they could stop actively discouraging high CP mon from being placed in gyms. Motivation has way too much influence on CP. Also, all mon should demorivate at the same rate.

I disagree, however I don't think decay should be slowed exclusively by cp.

My sunflowers has walked 999.9km. My shiny Gyarados are averaging 6,000 battles won each. It would be nice if the pokemon you train get a little extra than the ones you just max and evolve on the spot.
