I have long suggested a waiting period between registration and being able to post. I suggested at least one day.

I think that 250 edits worth of damage is WAY high. Who can make 250 sensible edits? Seriously. At ten minutes an edit, I can do six an hour. Who is going to do more than four hours of editing a day? Well, maybe somebody but I suggest making it so new users are limited to ten edits a day. Let them show that they are mature. Then up them to 25 a day.

At my peak of enthusiasm, I spent one week between stories. There's no way I could make one a day. So I think limiting new users to five new Wiki articles a day is reasonable. Once they have proved themselves, we could up it. Even for people posting classic public domain stories, ten a day is a LOT to format and get posted with a decent image.

Likewise, I think that comments on the stories on the Wiki itself should have daily limits. If you spend ten minutes reading a story and two minutes saying how wonderful it was and you do that for four hours a day, that twenty comments on stories in the Wiki.

Can you separately limit the number of forum posts, blog posts, and Talk posts?
