I have always found forums that limit posting incredibly annoying. Beyond normal spam filters, there is no need to stifle content. The only justified posting limit is on prose and poetry websites where new members must first prove themselves in a new member board before submitting their works all over the site.
the forum I'm referring to was a college sports forum that would frequently have new users show up in droves the week of a football game and fill the forum with spam and harassment. I think it was necessary in that case.

Maybe they should have improved their moderation team instead of making a worse posting experience for innocent members.
fair enough. I wouldn't feel hindered, but I guess I should not project my thoughts onto the masses... especially since I'm the weird one!
