Or we could introduce a limit of 20 messages per person and month.
It might be better to have the limit be on a per-day basis?
97 From: "Thomas Dalton" -- 3 posts per day
My guess is that Thomas's contributions were not 3 per day evenly spaced, but zero for a significant part of the time and then massive participation in one or two threads that got overwhelming.
(I am not picking on Thomas here, other than that he was at the top of the list, volume-wise.)
A limit of 3 posts per day would not limit even his total output (by much), but would perhaps keep exciting threads from exploding to the point of being unreadable.
