We have an option to "chat curse" people where nobody sees what they write
on channels, yet the offender doesn't know. Often this successfully makes
the offender leave when he gets tired of waiting for any response. I believe
the key thing here is that these kids are seeking attention so deny them
that in a way where they don't reallise they actually did get some
attention.
We also have a nice spam limiter for new chars. If a newbie tries to write
too fast to a channel it tells him to slow down and blocks the message. This
has eliminated those annoying level 1 characters that go /repeat 100 channel
SPAM!.
