The OSM foundation seems to have a feature in its mailing list software, where, in contentious situations (e.g. during board elections campaigning periods), posters are throttled to one message every 24 hours.

At the time, it seemed to me like an interesting idea that we could be experimenting with to keep flamewars somewhat more contained.
