Overloading a form page

Ok, someone who visits a community site that I have built showed me a little dastardly trick today. It seems that if you tab to a thread submit button, and repeatedly hit enter a few hundred times in a row, that the server will queue up all of those commands and process them all at once.

He would do this to inflate his thread count, but I have a concern that if someone was being malicious they could really bog down my server by doing this. (kind of a mini mini DOS attack) Anyone know of something I can put on my server that will limit the number of submission requests that it will take?

Thanks for your help..
