When I log in as admin and search Discourse settings for controls like `level 0` or `reply frequency` or `post rate`, I don’t see anything relevant.

If I google `discourse level 0` to learn what it means, I see [this](https://blog.discourse.org/2018/06/understanding-discourse-trust-levels/#:~:text=By%20default%2C%20all%20new%20users,safety%20%E2%80%93%20both%20theirs%20and%20yours.) official blog post. It doesn’t appear to limit how quickly a user can reply. And it appears to prevent other features that aren’t a problem (that we yet know), such as preventing DMs.

The problem is we have a user who replies to every reply in many threads as soon as she gets a notification email. It might be helpful to prevent her from replying to a single thread more than X times per day. The goal would be to keep her from writing in anger, and to let others get a chance to reply before she replies again.
