I'm in favour of starting with 1 also. We can sit and conjecture about what the spammers may or may not do, but before increasing the trivial inconvenience to newbies, why not start small and ramp up as necessary? It's important to note that any loss of new posters will be completely silent as we will never learn of their non-posting.
