Is there a limit on how many new threads a person may start within a 24-hour period?

Thanks!

You can only post once every 60 secs (I think). If you had impecable timing, a strong bladder, and no life, you could make a maximum of one thousand, four hundred, and forty posts in 24 hours.

I suspect that a lack of content, and the appearance of spamming, may have you banned before the 24 hours was up.

I actually have 1,440 important and relevant things to say.  
It’s just that I have neither the bladder nor the WPS to post it all.

You’re forgetting the one hour downtime.

Is anyone prepared to take up this challenge?

Only joking, of course.

If you think you went overboard, perhaps you did.
