If a topic has hundreds (or thousands!) of posts, any user, including a guest, can make each and every one of those posts display on a single page by manipulating limit parameter in the url, regardless of the default "Posts per page" setting in the backend. This can potentially cripple a server in very short time. Adding an option in the backend that sets a maximum number of displayed posts could prevent this from being a problem. For example, in the Security tab:

"Max number of posts per page:"

followed by a number field.
