Have you noticed that we get spammed/flooded with low quality, ubiquitously downvoted posts in batches of 5 to 10 several times a day?
Next time you feel that a post is particularly high quality or relevant, check the user, you'll probably see that it was their only post all day, if not multiple days or sometimes weeks.
Totally anecdotal but it is a reminder that a few unhinged people have basically got the forum in a soft hostage situation at all times a la Insurgent because we have no limits on post volume or rate. And those people can be anyone acting for any reason.
Even with an army of alts, a post limit tool would go a long way in regard to increasing the effort that a mentally ill person needs to commit to in properly destroying the place.
In a moment of need Elvis could simply adjust the max daily posts from say 5 or 10 daily to only 1, so that even an army of 30 alts can only flood at 30 posts/day. It could turn a full scale raid into a piddle.
Being able to deflect a raid by any extent without mod actions would mean that the forum would be free to ban legitimately insane or abusive people without immediately going to manual "one by one mod action" war for however long a sperg can keep it up (long).
