idea: threads per day by user27089 on 09-11-2004 at 08:30 PM
as there is some guy on the forum posting a lot of stupid threads, I think that it would be reliable to place a so many threads per day/hour whatever 
I think that if this is placed, spam would reduce quite a bit.... so.. it would be just like the shoutbox where it has the flood detection to it 
so would this be able to be placed

Actually there is a limit: People (except mods and admins) can't post more than 100 posts/day. I think that the number is good because there may be days where some members needs to post such big amount of posts.
* Choli remembers the day that Plus! 3 was released. He made 70+ posts and WDZ told him about the post limit

wheres the point in having a limit in threads? Anyway, in fact there's already one: no more than 100 thredas/day. Spam is not only making stupid threads but also stupid posts. You won't stop a spammer if you limit the number of threads. In fact, IMO, spammers use to reply to existent threads more than making new ones.

Limiting threads could cause off-topic posts. Think about it 
But well, if the number of threads is high enough no one should care, but lamers could still be just as annoying.
Edit: I would rather make a rule like "only 1 new thread per member each 15 minutes" Wich would make sense for general use, and would avoid thread-flooding.

I dont think so because what if its important, and who wants to spam threads anyway you just spam inside the existing threads and thats what mods are for..

I didn't mention any limit because it could be a lower one, say 5. With 5 It could be needed to open more threads and not being able to, so you post your problem somewhere else.

so whats the limit? 10?
