I'm with you Cam.

If you can do more than 15 posts per hour (less than 4 minutes per post) you either type too fast, have nothing worthwhile to say or seriously need a life.

look I can see your point Cam but I don't know how it would affect those of us who do post a fair bit... it would be frustrating having to wait an hour before posting again if you somehow exceeded your quota.

just ban the pests. Or ignore them, it's simpler I guess.
