I agree very much with daily limits but I would say 10 per board per day in order to keep the social aspect of the investment boards to a minimum and the quality of posts informative. Many do not want to see people who like to dominate certain threads by posting useless OT and one liners or posting their holiday plans as if they own the threads. New members don't care who is going hunting or to Italy and when they see this kind of talk they feel they are intruding on a closed thread so they generally won't participate

I posted an example last night and will post it again even if unpopular with those who feel they must bless us with their constant presence 50 times a day or more. IMO there is no way that newcomers are going to want to post on threads that appear to be a closed social club. Investment threads should be lean and mean with only posts that affect investments and in my opinion comments about the Canucks or other sports stuff, weather, partisan politics (not geo-politics that affect investments) and posts on DSK don't belong on investment threads.

I noticed it only got 1 recommendation which to me indicates that people are all talk and don't want any real change after all. For me, if I want to see sports scores from a hockey game I'll go to a hockey board. I also don't like reading too much in the way of conversational endorsements of others posts as in "yup" or other one liners. That is what takes up space.
