2.1.24 has defaults 0 300.  My most troublesome list had max 5/week =
	member_verbosity_threshold:	5
	member_verbosity_interval:	604800		
which may have occasionaly triggered correctly, but at least one
of the shunted people was someone who very rarely posts so at least that
shunt was unintended by traffic criteria.

So this is a till now undocumented old fix :-)
