Something just crossed my mind & I think I should bring it up.

Somebody has started up an unusual amount of new threads in the past 24 hours. Now, I (we) think to know who The ExChanger is - Susan, one of the few persons who's Avatar is a picture of (most presumably) herself, who's been around for a long time & who's birthday it was during that period, which means she deserves a lot of attention & can do whatever she likes.

But suppose it was someone else, not someone new, but a 'Senior Member' (members), let's call this member 'The Troll', who, out of the blue, starts posting loads & loads of fresh content.

All these new threads have a certain 'quality', but do nonetheless, come from one single source, who's name is now all over the forum. Someone who visits it for the first time, might think that 'The Troll' ownes the forum. Actually it's a crossover between a Blog & a Forum. (A BlogForum. New word? Yes? Well, in that case it's mine & mine only!)

What I want to debate is:
Should there be a limit on the amount of new threads one person may start in a 24 hour time period?
Just to avoid somebody launches a 'Threadstorm'. (Another new word & also mine, but this one I'm willing to share!)

Well?
