Not for nothing but I really hate that setting. Some threads really lend themselves to multiple replies and having to edit a previous post rather than be able to trigger a new one really sucks. It can really kill the flow, especially on news-heavy topics.
Maybe the overall limit can be tweaked slightly?
(A feature request would be that the limit is smarter - where the consecutive reply limit also has a timeout. If the intent is to prevent a bunch of rapid fire replies, a cool down period would be a reasonable compromise.)
