AddonMessage Flooding/Mass Disconnects?

My addon is using the addon channels to communicate quite a bit of data. For each player in a guild, it's generally only a 200 or less character message. But everyone in the guild sends those messages almost simultaneously. Additionally, all players process each message sent from everyone else (incredibly quick if statement). I've been told that shortly after login, an entire guild got disconnected by the addon. Which is approximately when those messages fire. This appears to only occur in larger guilds (60+ players online). Are there any stipulations on the 255 character limit that anyone is aware of that limits the number of characters all players in a guild can send before it's considered "flooding" and causes a disconnect? Or does anyone have any knowledge regarding this that I may be completely overlooking?
