I'm sure this has been brought up before (today as a matter of fact, but not in a thoughtful way). Does anyone think there should at least be an hourly post limit (1 per hour or maybe even 1 every 3 hours - something along those lines) or even a daily limit per user? I just feel like a lot of shit gets thrown at the wall to see what sticks and 80% of it doesn't. There's a group of 4-5 users that on any given day can go ape shit posting pretty much dumpster fire material. 20% can be good or generate a debate, but it seems like a lot is just plain bad.

I know the tabs at the top can be used to sort the post differently, but I always go by the default I'm used to of active posts. It seems like it involves a lot of new posts as well that may not even have a comment on it. While I don't want to filter out new content/posts, sometimes one user can monopolize the entire homepage (depending on which tab you're in). Turns me off certain days when it's loaded with one users wall shit throwing. I can't imagine I'm the only one and I can imagine a first time visitor might have this same experience. I know I've missed posts where this has been talked about, but figured with some of the recent changes it might be worthwhile to master debate this around a bit again.

I'm game for limiting it to 8 posts a day I think. And posting more than 3 in a hour locks you out from creating new posts for the next 3 hours or something along those lines ( @Patrick not sure how hard or easy that would be). That's my first stab at it without a whole lot of thought.
