Character naming restrictions...
-No letter appears over 2 times in a row.
-No names over 12 (10?) letters in length.
no names over 12 sounds good, but i disagree with the first part.

-Throttle the rate you can create new characters on an account. For example, once an hour max.
many ways around this one as well

This is by far the best idea, i fully support this and would really like to see it implemented

[*]Throttling post speed...
-Throttle the rate anybody can send text to OOC or Auction to something like...no more than 1 message every 5 seconds.
-Severely throttle the rate that people under level 5 can post on OOC or Auction. For example, one post every 30 seconds.
i think this was attempted, correct me if im wrong (obivously isnt working if it was)

good idea in theory, but there are so many ways around this

[*]"GM's give 10-15 active, higher level, respectable players the ability to IP ban spammers." To prevent abuse, perhaps give an even smaller handful of GM-trusted players the ability to recommend a ban to the GMs through private channels (IM,e-mail,whatever) which the GMs take extra-seriously on the rare occasions it is used for this purpose.
this last one is a horrible idea, im sure even trusted players have the possibly of succumbing to corruption, this could mess things up a lot.
