Limit on posts per thread? I'd say 25. But then what happens when someone does an ambush interview? Will they get locked out of answering their questions? I guess look at your ambush interviews and see how many the top interviewed person posted and then add 25 more to it. I know some people post as many as 500 in a contest and the ambush is probably less than 200.
Limit on who can run a contest? I think limiting it to paid advertisers is not good. It is a webmasters forum and any webmaster should be able to compete and participate. Restrictions here will stifle competition.
Number of concurrent contests? I think it should be left to descression.. Sometimes you have 10, sometimes you have 2 and sometimes none... So if it gets to 10 just before Vegas, it could be a good and needed thing. But 10 right now is over blown. I don't think setting a hard rule here is a good choice to make.
Length a contest can last? Perhaps 1 week for prizes totaling $500 or less, and 2weeks max.
Thread count? 1000 for $500 and a maximum of 3000.
Remember that with less posting, the time it takes to reach 1000 will be a lot higher. Unawarded prizes at this point would stay unawarded.
