I would have no problem with a limitation on that number either as I feel that is a form of monopolizing. However, limiting the number of posts per a timeframe has been brought up before and most of the community did not care to see such a guideline.

You wrote,[...number of posts per a period of time...no problem with a limitation on that number...].
If there was a rule to limit here the number of posts per a period of time, and one posted more posts than the limit allowed in order to offer support and education to a member that was contemplating suicide, and the member posting to help was sanctioned to stop posting because they went over their limit, would you:
A. object to their being sanctioned and having to stop offering support and education to the one contemplating suicide?
B. If so, could you post here why you would have an objection to that hypothetical rule being applied to them?
C. If you would not object, could you post here why you would not object? If not, could you post here why not?
