Yep, that's what I meant but still someone can flood with posts on inactive threads and then you have a new problem. How about
:
(1) Limit USER to 2 thread starts per day if they are under 1 yr old since join.
(2) Limit USER to 6 posts (within threads) per day if they are under 1 yr old since join.
As long as USER knows the limits come off after a year, I'm most wouldn't even breach those limits since we know the vast majority hardly post much, if anything. We have many more lurkers than posters.
This doesn't solve the problem of spam/flooding etc so you still need more admins but it will severely limit the damage and disturbance when it actually does happen.
