An interesting observation! Why do you think this is happening? What do you think we can do to fix the problem?
I suspect that a lot of the posting is spam - possibly driven by a desire to increase post counts. What do you think about not having the post counts visible any more?
I was thinking that a daily posting limit would be good. Thoughts?
My site Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Lol, then there would be no point in the Top 100 Users thread... No one would ever pass anyone except inactive people!

I don't think that's a good idea because if some users are actually posting useful things and not spamming, they shouldn't have a post limit. Then again, if other users are posting spam, they probably should have a post limit. Hmmmm...
It would maybe be a good idea to not show post count.

lolz 
. But I think increasing the 60 second rule a bit wouldn't be a bad idea... It sometimes gets hard to read through all the posts, because so many of them are coming at a time...

Most of the posts haven't been spam actualy, or where I've been posting that is. True, some of it has been offtopic, but rarely spam.

Just because it's in parentheses doesn't mean we can't hear it.

I doubt that this highposting fad will be around for long, the amount of scratch mods popping up is slowing, that fad is over, so its likely this one will die down aswell.

Maybe it wouldn't have to be a 300 second rule, maybe a 180 second rule.
