Right now, as you all most likely know, if you use /g or /shout 3 times in a period of something like 5-10 seconds (don't remember exactly), you are charged 100 meebles. Nearly everyone complains about the fee, but it's necessary to stop spam. Instead, I propose replacing the tax with a cooldown of 3-5 seconds if someone posts more than 3 times in 5-10 seconds. Here's an example:
Current system
MooperDecals: hi guys
MooperDecals: im back
MooperDecals: whats up
-100 Meebles
[waits a few seconds]
MooperDecals: hello?
Proposed system
SmClue3kx: hey guys
SmClue3kx: im back
SmClue3kx: did anyone else crash?
Too fast! (3-5 second cooldown)
[can't message again for 3-5 seconds]
SmClue3kx: just me?
3 seconds sounds too short but if the chat is moving at a moderate pace it would be sufficient.
The amount of messages before tax/cooldown could also be changed to 4 or higher, which may be enough to satisfy the complainers.
