I think on the whole it would be beneficial to the 'market of ideas' in this sub-forum. (Mods say... eh? Ehhh? Thread on topic? )
Although perhaps a post-per-day on a per-thread basis would be more effective. The basic argument, I suppose, would run that providing a quota instills value into those posts that you do make, which provides pressure against power-posting of the vapid ilk.
Thoughts on the hypothetical ramifications?

IBTL!
Totally off-topic.
Take it to 'general' or 'features and ideas discussion'.
Stop clogging up 'Market' with this spam.

Mentally I find the idea attractive. It would be interesting to see what statements or issues people would make/involve themselves if posting was quota limited. However I could also see allot of multi-account abuse here. (For instance I have two accounts so I could double my quota, 6 x quota if it is per toon.) More importantly some people would really be swamped under by media campaigns. Imagine the drowning some threads get (trolling too) in Coad where very active corps/alliances jump in as a team. Imagine where the few would be limited in being able to speak and getting drowned out by a vocal mass. The moderators do a good job of requiring that posts have some actual content. Granted they are not omniscient enough to see that this is perfect, thus the vapid ilk that shows up, but there is that bit of oversight where necessary. So, a posting quota would be interesting only in seeing what issues people would prioritize. But that would be the only benefit in truth and a very very small one. PS: Again I'm forced to agree... totally aghast that I'm agreeing with Taikun. IBTL only because the topic is not ideally Market based and wrong for this forum. There is a worthwhile topic but I'm hard pressed to think of anywhere besides "Out Of Pod" this might be best. At best it may be moved though so "IBTL" is premature.

I agree but argumentative. Mostly by those very same players of course but ... well... I also know allot of good people, who would be qualified by your description here, who would also suffer. IMHO free speech is better even though it allows for abuse. I'm of course very idealistic about the matter of free speech myself. (Silly me) Translator Page

I consider COAD an outlier to pretty much any reasonable law.
The "drowning out" would probably be a problem, as would "saving your post(s)" so you could reply to the maximum amount of rebuttals/accusations/arguments/content (although that'd probably be a wash in the long run -- and if someone doesn't have a valid point, then it wouldn't really matter if you didn't reply to it).
I think the main flaw in the moderation model is that they can only really moderate things that deviate far from the norm, which leaves the "creeping bastardization" of more subtle trolling. Certainly there is rule-based moderation, but most of the rules are pretty cut-and-dry and/or major. Ergo, in the course of a given thread or forum, moderation doesn't do a lot to raise the level of the dialectic -- it just kind of keeps the crazy guys throwing fruit at everyone else away.
PPS: No one knows what market discussion means anyway ("Share stock tips or get the inside scoop on trading" ), so I'd take it to mean a general forum for an economic perspective, which I think includes any kind of forum schema.

Suffering the ramblings of many a fool is the price you pay whilst awaiting that one great idea.

Oy that is so true.
Suffer we do.

To assist in your concern. May I point out the following.
Originally by: "CCP Wrangler" This is for discussing the market, both how it works and to share market tips.
This is a direct quote of the Dev team from the thread "Market Discussions Rules [Read before posting] - UPDATED 30/4/2006!"
You decide how you post fares against this criteria. I make no assertion either way.
That said, I think your idea is bad and without merit or need in these forums. There is a process and it seems robust enough to cope with whatever concerns you may have.

I'd prefer a "block posts by user" option as is implemented on some other boards. Then you just don't see posts by selected users.

Too much headache when you can simply ignore people in question.

Posts per hour per thread might have more effect at increasing the quality of the posts. As it's been pointed out Posts per day would give an inordinate amount of leverage to associated posters. Posts per hour per thread would force a degree of cooling off in heated discussions, while still effectively limiting the amount of content-less posts.
