The mods are retarded. Quick, post difficult math problems
What is the best way to handle over posting?

Is the problem over posting, or that all the posts from that user are more or less the same topic?
Just off the top of my head... My thought here is that users posts are not a problem in that sub, they are a problem because they are dominating the front page....it looks like you have a 'karma' system. So what if within each sub you treat karma normally, but on the front page you apply an additional decay on subs that have too many posts, like....
Top post from sub A: 100% of karma score applied to front page rank
2nd highest karma post from sub A: apply...90% of karma to front page rank (or whatever decay formula you think will be suitable)
...decreasing amount of true karma applied the more posts are in this sub
This would seem to ameliorate your situation somewhat without making any strict arbitrary rules (I see its kind of anarchist leaning, so I'm assuming you are looking for something not too heavy handed)
Idk how great of an idea this is, just trying to help ya brainstorm something that would help. This would at least leave the things alone inside the sub, but have an affect on the front page problem

I like the idea of including both the user and the topic to get a diversity (maybe 'uniqueness', diversity has become such a loaded word) modifier. The decay you apply might need a little tinkering to get just right for the balance you are looking for, but conceptually it doesn't seem like a terrible idea to me. Though admittedly I can't recall seeing anything quite like this before
