SpamHammer

SpamHammer detects people sending too many messages in short amounts of time (and optionally repeated messages). Mutes, kicks, and then bans players that spam the same message in that order. Server OPs and people with appropriate permissions are unaffected.

Philosophy

This plugin might not be the fanciest one, but it has been thoroughly tested and has been untouched in two years, and never broke, until a little dependency purge in Spigot 1.12 - this is why I am uploading the fix for it here.

You will love it, because it simply works, and it will continue to work. If not, please post a ticket on github and we will sort it out!

Phoning home
Yes, SpamHammer phones home. The plugin calls my server, www.slipcor.net and saves the following to the database:

• the plugin name
• the plugin version
• the server IP
• the port

The IP and port are never shown, they just are used to differentiate servers from each other. I would like you to keep the plugin doing this, so I have an idea how many servers are using which version, that's basically it. To turn it off, change the config yml setting settings.callhome to false

Credits
