This is what i'd be afraid of... i choose to be an active member of only a few boards, but those i've chosen are for a reason. You don't want to discourage a newbie who is actually versed in board etiquitte and jumps right into rational discussion in his/her first few days. With a limit, I'd hate to see that person get disinterested b/c they can't discuss things.

But alas, i see the need to balance out non-intentional mishaps of super-nubes. Setting a minimum post count for starting new threads is definitely a good idea.
