Most people who spam messages spam a set string over and over.

If they have, simply ignore the message by prohibiting it from displaying on the screen. If a person has been flagged for repeating a message make sure to reset the timer so that if the person again repeats the same string in the next 30 seconds it will ignore that one too.
@flyrocket, this feature doesn't seem like it would be too hard to code. It would be a nice addition to combat spam.

I am pretty positive it isn't an issue with closing the server connection's socket because I even incorporated a while loop to only exit if socket.isClosed().
I'll figure it out eventually.
good idea anyway..
