I was going to write a more sophisticated spam prevention, but as a quick fix, what do you guys think of.. chars under level 5, 3 messages per minute?

Yea, 3 messages per minute should be plenty for someone to ask a question and then follow up with another question or a "thanks"... if not they can just wait another minute, or level up to 6...

This will instantly kill the spammer's effectivess.

I have rarely posted 3 messages inside a minute anyway. A larger rate limit on all players might not be a bad idea, it would stop people from having arguments and flamewars through /ooc, but then again it would hurt discussion for bored soloers and farmers.
