How about a delay of 5 minutes for shouts, 3 minutes for yells and 1 minute for say? (No delay for tells)
I've seen people have conversations in shouts and yells, so I think making the delay too long would irritate players who like to talk to people in the zone. The absolute most the delay should need to be is 1 minute. The delay won't be there to stop the RMT from spamming so much as it would be there to stop the scrolling long enough for players to be able to catch their name to blacklist it. Once they are blacklisted, you don't have to see their shouts anymore, so there is no reason to make this delay too long so that players can't communicate with each other as easily. The key here is to do things to make things harder on the gil sellers while simultaneously making it easier for players to add to blacklist and/or report them without also inconveniencing the players needlessly.
