A bot that allows you to say only original content

I'm tempted to make a pidgin plugin that does this and rejects all incoming messages that aren't unique. I'm sure the people I chat with would think I was an asshole, but it would cut down on the lol's that I have to look at.

Yes. And that is just the technical reason easily overcome. There's also a 'common sense rule':

"The moderator has plenty of holes if you're acting in bad faith. But if you're doing that, why are you in the channel at all? Folks who persist in doing this anyway earn (like any spammers) a prompt manual ban."
