Thank you for doing this, it's great to have.
I've been thinking about where to apply this. Definitely in the moderator view of the user profile.
On the user-facing side, I think as a flash[:notice] on the story submission form. If that doesn't solve the problem it can become a hard error on story submission in the future.

Rails allows you to add to an association scope, so this could be self.stories.where(:user_is_author => true).count.

@pushcx Okay I added something to the user profile visible to moderators. Ready for another review. For now I actually don't think anything should be user-facing, and I'm against doing a hard error on story submission. We would not want to discourage users from posting original content that is high quality and fits in with Lobsters. IMO having this visible to moderators just adds one more tool to figuring out if a user is submitting content that doesn't belong at Lobsters. Moderators can message them if their behavior is a problem. |

Good points. We can definitely take this one very slowly, as the topic generally only comes up infrequently when someone starts posting stories that attract spam flags and critical comments. |

Per discussion https://lobste.rs/s/2somjr/5_ways_developers_waste_more_than_20_their#c_odxdsb and on IRC.
Future work (future PRs) could include checking domain names.
