More like keeping the topic from getting stale and boring
Or it could have the effect of stretching a contentious topic out over a longer period of days. A limit might have unintended consequenses. If a topic is really interesting for most subscribers, why deliberately throw cold water on it? I think moribund topics have a habit of disappearing naturally anyway. Self-censorship is the best, either on the part of the contentious poster (yeah, right,lol), or the subscriber just not clicking on messages with topics of little or no interest to them. I employ that latter method, myself.
