We have a user that is active to say the least.

By which I mean from 7.15 this morning until now at 10.40, they have made constant and consecutive edits, and have raked up hundreds of edits in a matter of mere days. These are all also very small edits; formatting old articles, adding templates to episode lists, etc.

They're useful for the most part, but we've had to add three new rules since then about not creating new articles for stubs, not doing consecutive multiple edits for one article, and to format all articles. We've also had to dramatically increase our own edit counts catching mistakes of theirs, and it takes ages to go through all their edits, which takes time off adding content and other wiki work.

Is there a way to implement a cool-down period on what users can post? Is it sensible to make a rule against this? How have others dealt with this kind of issue? I wouldn't even mind a dozen edits, especially if they were substantial, but hundreds is incredibly difficult for a small wiki to cope with.
