The town has now become a spam place. please implement something that if someone spams the same line more than 3 times within 3 they get kicked off the server. and not allowed back for 10 mins or something. there has to be a penalty for this spamming!!

Yes, it would be nice if it was automatically taken care of, although personally I don't mind hitting "Ignore" on the people that are spamming. I'm just not sure I care enough about this issue to pull developer time away from other, cooler things.
Coding a [in this case, ignore] trigger based on something as simple as chat / logs isn't a tremendously difficult / time consuming issue, nerd. But yeah, they probably have a short-term list of priorities and it could be on there.

No, This is a problem in EVERY SINGLE MMO GAME!!!!! They designed the Friend/Ignore function perfectly. If they are spamming and you don't want to deal with it, then place them on ignore. That simple. The 6 man DEV team does not have time to waste on making spamming rules. I'm sorry but that is a complete waste of time.
I HATE SPAMMERS! If any one has has ever played Starcraft or Diablo 2 on B.net, there's an anti spammin system. If you spam the same message more than 10 times within X amount of seconds you get kicked off the server for ten minutes. I love anti spamming systems. Here's an example of the worst kind of spamming...

They shouldn't be able to use more than one quick-chat per 10 seconds. :) I think that would fix it, as lots of people are double-tap spamming with quick chat (which is very handy for things like 'heal plz,' 'revive plz,' and the like).
