Kicked for spam during deathmatch

[Keith Smith12]

I don't know exactly how many digits you have to type to get kicked for spam, but during the deathmatch on an EU server, me and my friend on Skype were the last 2 players alive. To let the spectators know what we were doing I started typing a countdown, starting at 5, and once I got to 3, I was kicked for spam. Why was I kicked, when every message was a different number?

Spam:

Does not mean that all messages have to say the same thing. Spam is when a player posts msgs very fast, 1 2 3 4 5 can be said very quickly, so it would count as spam for the plugin. Its to prevent flood spam, which is when a user sends a message that makes up a picture (i.e. Nyan cat, takes up 6 message lines) in one go. Each line is different, but because its very fast, too fast, spam guard will kick in.
