Is it possible to do this? The only options I find are “silence” and “suspend” (I use another language so I don’t know if I translated these correctly). Anyway, what I want to do is limit the number of posts a user can send in a period of time so they don’t fill the platform with their short and u…

I think this is better solved with a clear moderation policy; educate your community that meaningless posts are not tolerated. If you cap the number of posts for all users, you’d be punishing the good ones too and you may loose out on great conversations.
