I would just like to suggest something, @dantheman
In this way, authors make sure to create better content and voters can vote wisely.

Please no.
I work hard on my 3-4 posts a day, I like being able to talk about "different" subjects. If it were one post a day, I'd be stuck to one subject and creating a really long article for that one subject would be difficult.
Why not space them out though? I don't think people are suggesting a hard limit. It would be similar to the current version where your payouts go down as you post more, so you could post more if you really wanted to.
I limit myself to once a day, but I don't think the limit needs to be that low.
@beanz You can currently make 6 posts every 24 hours before there's a drop off curvature in regards to author rewards.
**EDIT : This info is incorrect. The 24 hour post limit for authors before there is a drop in reward is "4" not "6". Thank you for catching my mistake on this @beanz!
Oh. Can you back this up? I've always understood it was 4.
@beanz Sorry, my bad, actually you are very much correct about the 4 posts before the drop off.
I've been up all night and didn't even catch this until you pointed it out. Here's a link to a tool that will let you look up the number of posts in a 24 hour period before the drop off takes effect.

Sorry again for the mistake, I've been working on a project for almost 36 hours with only a brief 2 hour nap so I'm starting to make typo's and now mistakes as well.
I may need to lay off of Steemit for the night just so I don't end up putting more bad info out there, or worse, writing bad code... Again, my bad and I apologize.
It might need to happen at some point. It is hard to keep up already and if you have someone who already attracts a lot of attention posting multiple times it reduces the likelihood of other posts getting noticed.
Artificially restrict the creation of information by censoring authors to one post a day? The only value created by the system is the information generated, and you want to cap that? People are concerned about fair distribution of rewards, not on capping the potential value of the entire system by limiting the amount of information allowed to be generated.
@themanualbot The 6 posts in 24 hours limit seems to be working fine right now. You can post all you want but after 6 original posts per 24 hours, there's a steep drop off in the author rewards. Silencing a social media platform would turn Steemit into the quietest social media platform in history.
With that kind of limit Steemit would easily devolve into just another form of alternative cryptocoin where posts don't matter.
Once a year is where it should be
Then no one would ever hear from me
But once, on a day you wish, every year,
the whole world would lend you its ear.
Oh and that would be a glorious time
I would think myself lord of the rhyme
I'd march myself forth that time of the year
and promptly prove I pull it all from my rear
