Auto-Admin Chat Spam

how hard would it be to modify the Auto-Admin to warn/kick chat spammers? i figure a system that counts the number of posts per minute would work, or something along those lines.
i was playing JBA today, and a player called allwork+noplaymakesjackadullboy must have called people scrubs about 50+ times per round. i cant for the life of me imagine why someone would spend their weekend trolling a star wars chat bar, but quite a few people seem to enjoy it. is any sort of automatic regulation for chat spammers available? it'd seem more convenient than bothering an admin to do it.

To my knowledge, no such system exists...I've played around with Server Manager before, and TBH, there doesn't seem to be any system that can autokick chat spammers: just language violaters.

Maybe it's possible to modify the code if you know what you are doing, but I don't!!!

It isn't possible to do. there is no reliable way to qualify al that could be considered as chat spam. unfortunately its only something a human can do.

anyone could easily avoid the censor (and that is what happens all the time)
