This site throttles postings in two major and one minor way (that I know of).
The minor one is the inability for new accounts to create new topics. Minor, and easily solved by waiting a day. It's a good chance to lurk and maybe even read the rules.
Once past that, there is the spam filter. Which is more of a posting throttle. It has two limits.
One is that replies can only be posted after a certain period has elapsed. The last time that I ran afoul of it, it was set at 1 minute between posts.
The other is a total number of new topics that an account can create in a 24 hour period. I've never run into that limit, so I don't know the count.
Either way, they have all greatly reduced the effectiveness of spam attacks and floods on the forums. Quite honestly, running into any of them causes a member to slow down and consider posting more carefully and with an eye on being more profound than prolific.
The limits can be annoying, but I am glad they are in place. Spam attacks are much less effective than they would be otherwise.
