What is stretching? Posting unusually long strings of characters into chat.

Wow. So you mean "yeeeaaah" is stretching?

No.

Let's curtail this weird, from-person-to-person ruling on what is and is not stretching.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

That would be stretching. Any time a single word crosses the middle of the chat message window, it should probably be warned for, but for SPAM. Any time a single word reaches the end of the chat message pane, immediately warn (for SPAM) for that if it is the first time. Any time it stretches beyond the confines of the message pane and creates a scrollbar on the bottom of chat, that is what stretching means. This would be stretching. There is no reason for that, and should be treated accordingly. It should be a kick.
