casually chatting or were you spamming quickly?? I don't play much so I haven't seen the chat system yet but I know they are doing it to prevent the spam bots and it will also be used to target the players spamming with 3rd party programs.
Do you? are you privy to information everyone else isn't? This is like when everyone thought the login loop bug was a method of preventing bots, there's no way to 'know'. They already added a method to prevent spam in 1.13d, read patch.txt in your d2 folder.
All spam bots would have to do is add a delay to the 'say' command in the script, that's hardly a difficult workaround so it's unlikely that's a way of them preventing spam bots (which Blizzard are stupid enough not to think of), you already have ignore persist for that though. There's no real way to prevent it other than running some detection program to prevent loaders, even then that's pretty hard to do, but version hack could be prevented if they really wanted to
It could be an error from all the work they have been doing with channels and accounts, no one knows, but there's a large chance it's just yet another unintended code error from something else they were working on, this is Blizzard after all
But who the hell doesn't know how to copy/paste the pastebin for the ignorelist file? who even sees spam bot messages anymore? The issue with spam bots is full bug which has nothing to do with chat messages.
