Spam filter?

Hi!

Some random guy endlessly shouting in NCR gave me the idea that there should be some spam filter for chat messages. What I mean, there should be some time limit between two chat messages from the same player and that limit should be doubled(/tripled/whatever) when the chat message is the same.
I also suggest limiting the login retries per time interval. For example 1/5 secs.

Both of these should be client sided filters, for the sake of saving server resources for more useful things.

5 seconds sounds fine for me.
That will reduces spam greatly.

This doesnt add nothing. The adding of limit. Because if i type "Fuck off!" or "Fuck Off!" or "Fuck  off!" are all different messenges with different characters. So, when i agree to this suggestion, i'm just saying that adding a higher limit if message is the same is pointless, because you can avoid it easily.

I don't think it would be hard to program it to be non case sensitive. To think about it neither should be hard to program some comparison routine that would make avoiding this filter not worth cause the extra time needed for changing messages.
But then again, a simple spam filter would still be nice and probably sufficent enough.

Would the Wasteland have a magic noise filter?

Someone yelling in NCR would not be magically silenced, unless the guards beat him up.

Just suicide-burst the prick.
