I would have to agree with @Dynamo for adding this new plugin and adding the new Maximum Posts Per Day Rule.

Not too far ago another forum also suffered from this "flooding posts in one day" issue. Their admins chose to resign altogether. But they proved that relying only on human checks is a no-go.

It's not the flooding that is the problem.  It's the quality of some of the posts that are made.  I've been in Forums for many years.  You can get a quality poster making 20 posts in one sitting and making 20 quality posts - of exceptional quality.  You can also get someone not paying attention while they are making the same number of posts from their smart phone.  You deal with them when they do that.  But you don't penalize or kick those who do make bulk quality posts.  You reward them so they will make more quality posts.  If it suits them to make those posts closer to month's end, don't punish them for doing that.  It's the posts that count.

Forums aren't doing well and they are in the process of dying.  Post4vps has been doing well because of the great freedom it has allowed its members and treating them all on their own merit.  Not all people can make quality posts.  Not all people can remember to post every day.  We do need those posts.  And if they make them every day or they make them at the end of the month, why worry about it?  Just focus on the low quality posts - like REALLY low quality ones.  And keep the feeling of freedom and respect for all members alive.
