Reply To: Story number limits

I agree that removing stories for quality reasons (except in egregious cases) would be a slippery slope. However, saying “You’re a newbie, so please only post X per day!” isn’t the same thing, I don’t think. Then when they hot 10 or 20 stories, maybe they go up to 3 a day (again, judging on quality could be slippery).

The purpose isn’t to discourage people from writing, but to make sure people aren’t discouraged from visiting the page because of a slew of stories from a single source taking over the front page. At least in my opinion.
