In order to solve this problem, I have just implemented a daily posting quota.
Every user now has a quota of 5 submissions per 24 hours per subverse, regardless of submission type.
I see no real value in a single user being able to post more than 5 links or discussion threads to a single subverse over the course of 24 hours.
If you used up your quota in sub X, you can still post to sub Y.
This is experimental and it may need some tweaking, so please provide feedback.

That's a rather unwieldy policy to implement. Reddit's submission process is based on the quality of what you post. For example, if you have minus X points, then time limitations are imposed. Otherwise, if everything is deemed to be of good quality, it doesn't matter (to the website).
Anyway, I'm being called out here, but I think a user like this is far more suspicious:

We'll have to see how it plays out, but in general I like this rule. Reddit is filled with people who had (and have) great intentions but have become superusers. Collecting too much karma, submitting too much content, having too much influence over the types of content people see, administering too many subverses are all things that can negatively affect the site. Even if the people involved have no ulterior motive other than to promote the site.

I've got a somewhat uncomfortable opinion for you, hope you're not the kind of person to get offended easily.
I'm going to assume like a lot of people you arrived here from the Reddit exodus (in fact I'm pretty sure I saw your intro post). I think a lot of us came because we were tired of people trying to control Reddit and make it over in their own image.
Why bring that baggage with you and start asking and pushing for regulation of other people here? Just my opinion of course, but that kind of thinking is exactly how Reddit turned to shit. You start off with "maybe this is spamming" and get a few people to go "yeah it is", then it progresses into things that pisses a few people off in that group become "spam" and you start blocking certain websites as spam and filtering offensive opinions and before you know it...you've got voat remade with all the same problems as reddit, but with a different group of assholes controlling what gets to said.
I'd encourage you to consider how are you contributing to improving the site and worry less about what other people are doing. If you have a better idea about how to do it, do it that way and if it's a good idea other people will see it an follow it. Don't sit around worrying what other people post or how often and when. @123_456 can post whatever they want to /v/news as long as it's news and it doesn't have anything to do with you.

I think it should be at mod's discretion - if subverse has no restrictions to number of submissions a day from one user, then it's okay. If mods feel that there should be some sane restrictions (you know, 15 is maybe okay, but what about 100? 1000?) they can list them in the sidebar as rules.
