I wasn't going to post since I'm only slightly active, but I noticed someone replied here as their first edit on the wiki, so I'll state my opinion. Rules exist for a reason, in this case to avoid the creation of a potentially huge amount of pages; hard limits are necessary to make rules possible. "Who are we to decide/limit/force X?" is appliable to everything, I don't consider it a good reason to cancel any rule. In this case I think a limit is necessary, because I feel like creating 25 pages when 1 could be enough is pointless. On the other hand I feel for those who'd like to clean messages posted 3 years before, so I think adding a time limit could be possible like Cheatcodechamp said. I'd make the time limit available to anyone though, not just ultra active editors, simply because they are very likely to reach the quota anyway. I'd say something like "25 messages, or 15 if the older message is at least one year old" seems acceptable; well, even 10 could be ok just because I don't think anyone would have the perseverance to abuse a 1 year time limit.
