Sounds perfect for a quick fix, which is what we desperately need.

We can then see how it flies, and discuss longer term measures as needed.

EDIT -> Of course, this would be needed for BOTH /ooc and /auction.

Yea, 3 messages per minute should be plenty for someone to ask a question and then follow up with another question or a "thanks"... if not they can just wait another minute, or level up to 6...

This will instantly kill the spammer's effectivess.

I have rarely posted 3 messages inside a minute anyway. A larger rate limit on all players might not be a bad idea, it would stop people from having arguments and flamewars through /ooc, but then again it would hurt discussion for bored soloers and farmers.

The solution should be simple, not one of the convoluted solutions people have proposed (aka expanding banning powers to more people or creating restrictions on what names/accounts people can have). Being restricted in the amount of spam you can post until a certain level is the best idea, it clearly solves the problem and doesn't inconvenience anyone too much.

That would be fucking awesome. If you can implement that, you are full of fucking win.

Id rather see 2 messages per minute but doesnt really make a big difference [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think that could work well for some time. Until some douche bag manages to find a power levelling partner [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Hopefully by then something more concrete can be in place.

Pleeeasseee do this.

A spam limit for everyone regardless of level sounds great to me. Really, why would you need to make more than 3 oocs/aucs within a minute except to spam?
