The mods should be put voluminous posters on moderation. If the moderators want to approve the extra 70 emails, that's their decision.

"Second, we're adding a "soft post limit" that, for the time being, will kick in at 30 posts per month. At that point, we will, at our discretion, place members on moderation for the remainder of the month, and will approve posts only where we feel they are useful and add significantly to the discussion."
"... at our discretion..."
This is very very meta. But in my own defence, I haven't posted anything for over a year. Mourning my dearly departed mother. I have said before that monthly limits are prejudicial against those that rarely post, but do post when the expletive hits the fan; and do so with the full force of conviction they are expressing the views of the community. Nuff said. Go ahead and moderate this, if you like.
