Maybe simply indicate that allowing users to override the count will prevent caching and thus make the forum more CPU intensive..?
Well, what I might do is implement caching and just not pull from cache for those users. The default case will save enough queries that way, I'd say.

Eh, I've just realised that the caching code is even more complex than I thought when handling per-page caching because of the nature of moderated posts >_<

I think I'll leave that part for now and see how big a deal it really is in practice...
