Since R2R seems to be a frequent target for forum spam, it seems like a cap on the number of posts/few minutes would be something worth consideration. It might give less incentive for spammers to try multiple posts if they find that they need to wait for a set duration before posting again.
I can also see this stopping the occasional Joe who wants to get to 25 posts in half an hour in order to advertise something in the buy/sell forum (I'm aware of the 30-day wait for the new forum registrants, but said-Joe sometimes isn't).
Obviously, the trick would be to balance legit, quick responses and intentional spam so people don't have conversations interrupted. What do you think?
