I am also not "dedicated to making anti-spam addons" either. However, over the course of playing WoW since original beta, I have seen various mods do this and the only thing I've ever heard after a while is something similar to "Dude turn that off", or "Ignored."

Your stance is that one message isn't spam, but the problem is that it avalanches. It's not just one message once more than one person starts using the mod. It's one per person. Then if every mod starts doing it, now it's one per person, per mod.

Imagine a 25 man raid with everyone using your mod and 7 other mods that do the same thing. 25 * 8 = 200 spam messages for a variety of actions. The last thing people want to see every time they join a raid is 200 different messages from all the different mods each of the raid members is using constantly spamming them under a variety of circumstances. It just becomes irritating.
