I think this is the perfect balance.
The 3mpm limit allows noobs to communicate freely, within reason, via OOC with the rest of the community. They will feel more like they are part of that community if they can communicate with it, say "thanks for all the helpful replies", etc.
The 10mpm limit for the rest of us should also (hopefully!) make OOC a little less busy and a little more meaningful.
And I don't think any of this affects the legitimate use of /AUCTION.
