I like that idea.

Another simple way to cut noise is to limit users to one article post per 24 hour period. Often, the threads that get out of control are those where two people are yelling at each other every five minutes. Let's force people to stop, take a breath, and produce a thoughtful response.

Could be limited to non-subscribers, but I think it should be universal. Maybe subscribers get two posts per 24 hours (per article), or a post every 4 hours, or some similar limit.
