So, I like this attack on the spam meta. However, one thing that might want to be addressed here: it doesn't actually stop spam in essence. 10 posts in 24 hours is still more than enough to cause some players to gloss over the thread. That's, in an average game, 140 posts per game day. About average, if a bit high, if someone uses them all.

It's one thing if a player is posting actual content, or a discourse with another (or better yet, multiple) players, but for a certain subset of players, it doesn't change the fact that they can fill up the thread with meaningless posts.

Of course, this is a problem with a mentality of players, so it'd be hard to change in essence, and I recognize that. I'm simply pointing out that this is only addressing a symptom of the problem, rather than the problem itself, and not even in its entirety.
