The sort of spam we've been assailed with before has been spambots who post hundreds of threads all at once (including hilarious spelling errors like ypurs). Limiting to 1/minute will stymie those quite nicely (cleanup will be easy anyway; I assume they can just delete everything by an account).

You're right that your method would deal well with human spammers, but... well,sometimes we spam! :) I've probably made more than 10 posts in 90 minutes on this board already at some point, and if we have an RP, it'll be inevitable. (For that matter, how long would my big thread over on the OldBoard have taken...?) And anyone who only gets a brief amount of time on the Board per day could want to rattle out replies...

You're also right that the chat is good for two people going back and forth; I don't think it works as well for (eg) replying to a bunch of reviews to your story, a one-to-many situation. It's all relative...
