why not just rate limit anyone under level 5 for the time being? Something like 1 message every 30 seconds.
it wont affect any noobs trying to ask questions in /ooc and will take care of Iyvvllvvllwllvv and Wvvwqggqyvvwlyv.
More sophisticated solutions can come later, but this would be pretty easy to implement id imagine.

That's not a bad idea for immediate relief, although I think you're right that we ultimately will need more (much more) than this.
If it was even fairly extreme, like one post every 30 seconds if you are under level 5, then that's better for the legit noobs than saying NO posts under level 5. It's still enough to ask your question, read the answer, say thanks, etc.
I think the naming restrictions would be easy to implement as well. Anybody with a bizarre name already on the server gets grandfathered in - it would only be a check during new creations.
Another idea. If you just created a character, you can't create another one on the same account for one hour.
