Problem: Limiting the number of posts doesn't limit the number of comments, so they'd still be able to overwhelm older users with newbie comments or create their own culture in the comments. I think this idea would be ineffective unless, by "posts" you meant "comments" (or added some similar plan for comments).

I meant "comments" by "posts." I'll edit the grandparent to be clearer.

Thanks, Vaniver. The OP has been updated. I also used find to see whether there were other ambiguities around the word "post" in the OP. Caught a few. (:
