Default Fighting back at spammers in chat box...

Obviously, you can't chat back at them since they hit and run from the table. One weapon is to reply with "virus link" to prevent one or two from going there. Another is to fill the chat window with text to make the spam scroll out of sight. Problem is the chat is often laggy; it takes too long to fill the chatbox with the four lines needed (at Party).

The solution may be to have a predefined sentence, in a text file, easily accessed by a icon in the task bar, for easy cut-and-paste during fight. What would be a good gibberish sentence, long enough to fill four lines, but not giving people too much of a tell that I wan't to hide something above? In lack of a better one, I start with this:

Testing the chat. Testing the chat. Testing the chat. Testing the chat. Testing the chat. Testing the chat. Testing the chat. Testing the chat. Testing the chat. Testing the chat.

Anyone?
