This would actually lead to *less* spam in /sh since you can relegate all trade and party search shouts to a separate tab.

I can fully get behind the first four chat log improvements that you suggested. /l1, /l2, ... /l9 should have been in the game from the get go. But c'est la vie, what can you do. I don't quite know how I feel about the last two. However, the one shout per 20 minutes to prevent spamming in intriguing.

It kinda reminds me of a less strict version of XKCD's Signal, which I thought was an interesting concept as well. The premise, in case you didn't know, is nothing can be said twice. From the wiki:

It's pretty simple. There's only one rule. Don't say anything that someone else has already said. This rule is enforced by ROBOT9000, known as Moderator in the channel. When taking into consideration if something has been said or not, repeating characters, case, punctuation, nicknames, smilies, symbols, and multiple spaces are stripped from the line.
