How to Stop the spam

I was thinking that if there was a count down time of say 2-3 seconds to enter something in lobby chat it would slow down spammers also for those who type fast and might find the three seconds just unbearable to wait maybe this could only come into play if you type 2 statements in under three seconds. I dnt know if this will be possible on regular server or custom client but yea

This would make it harder for people who want to participate in multiple conversations in the chat (I.e. me lol) I think it would be easier to recognize at least 8 characters that are similar to the last message, especially for those people that spam by adding one "q" to the end of their message... Just food for thought

Yea also if you have more than say 4character following each other eg "loooool" make that message unable to go through, the character might be more or less idunno and iknow people might just do something like this "looouoool" to avoid that but we could figure something i bet

the issue with chat filters such as these is that they cause lag

O i didnt know that
