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.

You'd have to program that and/or would take a lot longer to implement. Too many logical AND, ORs, blah blah blah.
My method would be much easier. Just make it so someone who is trustworthy is online in a certain timezone. All joking aside I think Paul Markham would do alright with this. Paul doesn't act up unless someone utterly bullies him (like DamianJ).
4chan (before they implemented md5 hash checks on images) would occasionally get overrun with massive amounts of very illegal content. Doesn't happen anymore, mostly. Usually those posts would go haywire on some random day with no mods present.
They just had to hire people willing to take less powerful mod positions.
Bottom line if you start locking down any features from what used to be then you getting members fleeing.
This is just one guy who gets overly inflamed behind the keyboard. I remember I trolled Donny a little bit and could sense utter/murderous rage. He contacted me via ICQ, email, anything he could find on me. Told me I was a "faggot" and that me and the whole family were going to get wikied. lol. Donny Long turning wiki into a verb, LOL.
This happened about 2 years ago.
