to slow down spammers
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so begin by mapping where room joins, account age, and room messaging permissions are handled. Define the enforcement semantics for limiting newly created accounts to N minutes of conversation after joining, then add coverage showing the limit slows spammers without blocking permitted users.
