You know, it wouldnt be hard to implement a Javascript chat room.. like a tagboard that's autorefreshed each second by a javascript routine that refreshes and grabs data from a hidden IFrame. This way, you could always have a quick spam outlet right there. They have something of the sort at Perlmonks, though it's pretty much just a tagboard. It'd be out in the forum index so you could chat about "spur of the moment" stuff.
There's no way to stop spamaholics. If you impose a character limit you're going to get a bunch of these:
":roll: I'm typing and typing and typing until I get enough characters for the limit... lalalalallalalalala"
It just takes some good admins to tell the beef from the spam.

i]"I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum ... you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?"[/i] - Dirty Harry
