Tradechat spam protection by letter count

Hi there,
i'm looking for an addon, which can protect me from spaming in tradechat. would be nice if it could be sort of intelligent like block chats with like a set number of letters.
for examble:
guild recruiting, goldsellers or service advertising does regulary hit a high letter amount easily. let#s say i dont want to see chats with like more then 150 letters.

tradechat i like to see is like average players advertising 1-2 items, or tradechat formerly known as barrenschat! furthermore to make sure that that addon does not block stuff absolutly away i like to get these high letter amount chats in a specific chat tab. in case of reasons.

is that possible to code?

thanks for your replys!
i'm going to give NoGuild a first try. these addons and helping plugins work with blacklisting/whitelisting words in general.
i was looking for diffrent method mention in OP above in the first place.

Using the two addons I linked (and wrote) on English-language servers, I see zero gold/powerlevel/etc spam, and almost zero guild spam. I don't think the approach you outlined in your first post -- blocking all messages with more than a certain number of letters -- would be effective. It may indeed block many spam messages, but it would also block a lot of legitimate trade-related messages and LFM messages, and wouldn't block all spam messages, since "lots of letters" doesn't actually tell you anything about the content of the message.
