Even slowing them down is fine. They mostly do it PRECISELY because they know it spams chat and makes chat a hassle and annoys everyone.
Let's say the average spammer spams 2 declarations every 5 seconds (a slow spammer already). That's 12 declarations a minute they can get away with, and it keeps them actively clicking away keeping them focused and on task.
A one minute delay means you declare 1 time every minute (1/12th the rate) and the spammers have to sit there doing nothing for a minute waiting to be able to click, which is boring. They'll probably drift to something else and then forget about what they were doing, wewt. Even the hardcores who are willing to wait a full minute wont be spamming chat tables, even if they'll be minorly annoying.
Make it a 2 minute delay and no one would ever notice.
