In terms of being fully active with all three characters, I absolutely agree that there are very few people who could pull it off. The vast majority are likely to prioritise, giving preference to one or two characters.
That said, there are character concepts that arguably don't require someone to be active all the time with them in order to still make good use of the character. For example, if a certain character is more of a joke character, a sidekick, is more of a pacifist, has a specific role, tends to stick to a specific place...with those kind of characters, it might be perfectly acceptable to keep them on the back burner and only post as them every now and again. In fact, if they're somewhat reliant on a novelty, it might even be preferable not to post too frequently.
Anyway, those kind of characters make for perfect 'third slot' material in my eyes. That said, I absolutely agree with the decision to impose additional requirements, since we don't want to end up with a lot of inactive characters either. It really should be reserved for people that have been around for a while.
