What is up with people and spamming RTB IRC?
TheArmyGuy:
Don't you get it, it makes all the cool guys appreciate how much they dare to do.
Yosher:
it has absolutely no point
especially since it's mostly 5 year olds spamming "OGM richard VAGINA snake JUSTIN BIEBER LOOK AT HOW COOL I AM I SAID ALL THOSE BAD WORD LOL!!!!"

Caps lock is sometimes used for emphasis, but BlockBot doesn't take kindly to emphasizing :(
FadedGlory:
Because it's funny when you're little.

There is rate-limited message sending. Too many messages at once will throttle the messages you can send for a while. All I can do is improve BlockBot's intelligence, and I have a few further ideas for that. I'll also be re-implementing the warning system now that there's room bans in place.

There is an intrinsic problem here in that I don't have faith in anyone who plays Blockland as regularly as would be required to effectively moderate a chatroom.
You all complain about this spamming but is it really causing an issue? I don't remember the last time I even saw a conversation in the General Discussion so why are you guys flipping out? I could understand if the spamming was interrupting conversation but that's just not the case. The obvious solution here is to remove public rooms.
