The retroactive application of this new rule, (and I assume you have decided to implement it??) worries me in that there are some who are already "in the hole" and may not know it. In addition, I think it's unfair to apply a new rule to old events. If the rule were in place at the time of the old posts, the poster may have decided on a different approach.
In pro football, coaches need to use their requests for instant replay review carefully as they only have a limited number. I think this caution would apply here as well if people had known they had a limited number prior to posting.
So in short, I do not think it should be applied retroactively.
