Since presumably this is all about the idiot with the paragraph-long sex spams, why not just ban his IP address? Yeah, he may go log in from a friend's computer, then let's ban that one. Surely there would be a limit to how many IP addresses he could access for an online game?

You nailed it IMO. Its just the select few that don't care about getting banned. Instead of removing a very important tool for our new comers, lets just focus on removing the idiots and not everyone.

QFT. Beginners need OOC more than anybody. Please don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

<---agree. Especially for folks who start rarely played chars (a barb in halas, anyone?) where you can go HOURS and be the only soul in the zone? Been there done that.

Filter /ooc, get faster typing /ignore but right now it would do more harm than good to put a level range on it. I know in SOD everyone started in a beginner's guild, why not implement this for noobs and get it off /ooc?

Noobs don't need /ooc.
I'm sorry, that's a ridiculous premise.
Noobs are perfectly capable of doing /who all <myclass> 30 50, and find someone who is higher level to help them learn shit. They will learn better things and not have to filter a million "wtf noob?" responses when they ask a question to the masses. I've played at least a dozen games with a minimum level for open chat, and it's NEVER EVER set me back at ALL. The ONLY people this would inconvenience are IDIOTS who can figure out how to /ooc but can't figure out how to send a tell, and the jackasses who make level 1 characters to spam.
