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:

You're not being called out, I had this planned a at least 6 months ago and had a method stub in place all this time. I think this change will cause more diversity and more positive effects than negative.

Thanks Atko! 5 might be a bit strict but all that can be worked out in testing. Perhaps it will push people to try new subs and push content away from the major subs into the smaller ones (a great thing). Appreciate your effort in the site!

No. Every submission gets timestamped. This checks if you made 5 submissions in past 24 hours. The check is made when you click submit button and there is no background/scheduled processing.

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.
