anti-spam feature

Particularly for sites for younger audiences,  spamming can make chatting very unplesant.
 
I would like to propose you add a feature that detects if a message is being repeated over and over.  Say,  7 times within 5 seconds, and blocks the user for a few seconds from posting anything else.  
Ideally this would be a setting I could disable in some chatroom.

Even if this is done in the client side (you can't trust the client), it would still have a lot of value for me,  it would stop effectivelly all spammers on my web site,  and the minuscule amount of people that could figure out and have the desire to bypass it can still be kept in check by the current banning features.

Yes, we also plan to put in a client level check in place. Thanks.

The anti-spam feature works.  Very nice. 
It would be great if I could disable it in a specific chat room though.   I have a chatroom specifically for people to go spam their heads off,  and they like to go there and "vent"
