Limit the number of posts in a short period of time

Any chance you could add a limit to how many posts one can open in a short period of time? I think everyone here wants to self promote now and then, and I think that's fine, but posting the exact same message on dozens of group, in a short period of time, is spam IMO.

Thoughts?

    Specifically I think this relates to other comments around posting the same post in multiple groups, now that there is an infinite number it becomes more of a thing...
    But some of us look at the main feeds, and it's just duplication and spam.

    But any further spam efforts are appreciated
    (Also especially the black magic Indian services and such, people signing up, posting withing like <1 minute with link outside and big blobs of text random or written...
    I wonder if it was considered putting some kind of credit or ranking with privileges, be nice to force people to help out first with genuine feedback and get credit before trying to get stuff out..)

    I'd also argue for some sort of system where you need to get "karma" first before being able to write multiple posts in quick succession. The thing is, when you promote your app or ask for feedback (Tag My Knowledge in my case, sry couldn't resist), you end up creating lots of posts quickly (esp with unlimited groups) and once you're done you go back to commenting on other people's stuff.

      I think 1 per day is a bit extreme but something like being able to create only 6 posts per hour would be reasonable.
