How about a per-thread limit regardless of author, since threads such
as this one right here tend to disrupt established conversations, bore
serious users -- and also elicit comments of dubious value from
bike-shedders, trolls and lurkers.

Often such threads change the title because they drift into more or less
of-topic.
I must say I like the "limit" given peer user and day.
My mail box have a limit for 300 mails at all, from time to time it get
flouted by mails from such threads, and I can't receive more mails then,
before I have delete the mass from the server.
That could be a pity, when I'm travel (and I travel a lot).

Might we want to consider modifying this rule so
as to apply to a
dozen messages *in a given thread* per day? I agree that, if one is
doing that much shouting about a single topic, it'd probably be
better to give it a rest. :)
That was the initial intention. However it's
much harder to do. The
current implementation is a few lines of bash. it does not look at the
content at all, just address and mail-headers as logged by the MTA.
Basically inotifywait mail.log; cut, sort, uniq, wc, test
You're welcome to provide a tool to do a better job. It's probably not
too hard in perl or python, but I did not consider it worth my time.
Before you get down to implement it however, consider volunteering as
list-moderator. I hazard a guess that it is effectively more efficient
to do things manually when it comes to more complex rules.
If interested please contact linux-audio-user-owner(a)lists.linuxaudio.org
