Actually, it wouldn't be too hard at all.  You simply say that 
nobody can post more than x times in any 24 hours. If the magic 
number is 3, then you look at the third last post you wrote and if 
it's less than 24 hours ago you can't post. If it's more than 24 
hours ago you can.

That's not too hard for the list elves, either. If you've got 4 
posts from one poster on one or two most recent pages on the site, 
you check their timing, and send an off-list reminder if necessary. 
It really wouldn't be hard.
