Have the lists history been mined to see how many "valuable" users violate

Would it be worthwhile to run this analysis and adjust the algorithm to match
what is found?

Trashing the server will not be easy, but even after today it will not
be too hard to pollute the email lists if you really set your mind to it.
Luckily malicious intent is much easier to handle for us.
It's the gray area that causes the email-list-admins headaches. Hence
this automated fair system. It basically just reminds and enforces what
should be common sense anyway: If you fail to get your message across in
~10 - possibly long messages - on a public forum, better sleep over it. The system will be activated on 31/Oct/2013 if
not vetoed. The actual
rate-limit may also be adjusted over time to reflect list-behaviour.
