Users shouldn't be able to spam several thousands of questions in an hour or less.

I'm not sure what the proper limits should be, but for registered users it should be 1 question/1 minute. For unregistered users it should be throttling for a max amount on a timeframe, but I'm not sure which one would be the best.

As a pointer what to do here, there's a gem called rack-attack to handle this.
