It might be interesting to see a system that allowed a maximum number of
posts per day to newcomers. People could vote on each post, if they want to
see more or less of that author, topic, whatever. Then people's posting
quota could be adjusted accordingly. If there were no size limits, people
could still squeeze all their stuff into one post per day. It would just be
easier to skip. If they were popular and widely received, they would have
more posts per day. As flame wars erupted, people could squash the flamer's
posting rights by popular consensus.
Maybe.
Or not.
