Applying, say, a 1 hour cooldown after 15 (un)star events in the same minute or so would effectively curb the abuse while allowing normal use of chat. If we only count events that change the message score between 1 and 0, the thresholds could be even lower. That said, this is probably an approach that would be kinda too hard to code in.
