How would you like the feature to work?

Let's irritate those chat spammers shall we?
Simply limit the number of groups an account may join on a daily basis, say, 10, maybe 15 per day? Who would need to join more than 5 groups in one day anyway? 10-15 is being generous.
This limit should not include groups a user is invited to.
This does not affect the total number of groups an account may be a member of at one time.

Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community?

Prevents spambots from join/chat/depart spamming.
Also prevent bots from paying their rent.

Please, someone can lend me the 100L? I really need this to pay my rent and I promise pay back tomorrow. I beg, someone?

Maybe the ability to join unlimited groups per day could be a premium only feature?
I doubt any of the spam bots are premium accounts.

I hate saying it, but I don't think this will solve much as it only takes joining just one key group for bots to start making revenue, plus the operators of said bots are dedicated enough to use multiple accounts and would join as little as one group a week if forced. Plus, to seem genuine, the "rent" bots that have been a problem lately have all been dated accounts with populated profiles(pic, groups, picks, info), not newly created ones.
