It would be nice if there was a way that people got kicked for spamming the rooms.. I've noticed that there's a shit ton of people that copy and paste the exact same thing often accompanied with the 'exact same' picture and I find that mildly annoying. I don't know what they get out of it if they're genuinely trying to spam or if they're simply not imaginative but the result is the same.

I do block/ignore them but then it ends up being half my activity on the site and there's just way too many to ignore them all.

I wonder if there's a way to get the site to handle this automatically.. let's say after someone posts an identical message 5 times in an hour or something like that?

I'm not sure how difficult this would be but I thought it would be worth mentioning. I realize that I'll probably have to live with it, but if I die it's from the spam..
 
Something is in place to handle that sort of behavior, with fairness in mind.

yeah, but it doesn't. Now, if I post the same thing 3 times in a short period, then yeah, I will get muted. However, there are spam bots that post the same exact thing 10 times in a period of a few seconds, yet they don't get muted. Idk how they're circumventing the mechanism, but they absolutely are. I mentioned this was an issue years ago, and it's still an issue.

I have nearly 25000 users on my ignore list--largely because of this issue.
 
They might seem like robots but I'm convinced that they're people who copy and paste over and over again.. (I do hope it makes them happy)
