Naver Places Limits on Postings

It looks like Naver is looking to crackdown on all the trolls out there in the blogosphere:

Korea¿s largest portal site, Naver, announced Friday that it has revised its news page rules so that the number of replies members write can not exceed 10 per day. The company explained that the measure was to prevent Internet users from writing slanderous comments about others and reduce the excessive number of spam-like replies. According to an internal analysis, some 5 percent of the site’s members post more than 10 replies a day.
It will also now be possible to read all replies posted by a member by clicking on their user ID, which will help detect those who habitually write mean-spirited comments. However, if a user deletes their previous replies, they can post a new reply for every one that they erase.

I like the idea of being able to trackback comments to detect the trollers but limiting people to 10 posts per day will cut down on some good discussions that happen from time to time on some websites.  What would the Marmot’s Hole be like with people only being able to post 10 comments per day?
