I'm in favor, fwiw.

Is there any particular reason not to make this limit even lower? I bet that even a 1 or 2 karma lower bound would suffice for the spam we're seeing. If we get visited by spambots that can garner even a couple of upvotes here, then we've found something interesting anyway.

5 is nicer, cleaner and rounder. That's really my only reason for preferring it to something smaller.
