REALLY  looking forward to the announcement that people 
should cut their  posts to 3 [or whatever # admin determines in 
the end] per day?  I  think it will make a big difference... truly.

Pippin:

Posting limits is going to be my pet project for awhile, along with 
Ali. One thing we want to do first is contact the Very Frequent 
Posters offlist (in case they don't follow Feedback) and let them 
know we're going to try this and why. Then we'd like to implement 
it for a trial period, say 3 to 4 weeks on a voluntary basis (ie we 
will monitor compliance but not enforce it.) If it's successful we'll 
start enforcing -- usually a polite reminder offlist is enough, 
believe it or not. People seldom need to be remodded.

 We had decided on a limit of three posts per day for the trial 
period.

One thing I'd be  glad to have input on is how we would measure 
success. Posting quality seems too subjective to be measured 
easily.
