Add comprehensive message validation with three protection mechanisms: 1. Rate Limiting: 10 messages per minute per user 2. Duplicate Detection: Prevents sending identical messages within 1 minute 3. Profanity Filter: Blocks inappropriate language (English + Polish) Implementation: - New messageValidation.js middleware with validateMessage() function - Integrated into both event chat and match chat handlers - Uses bad-words library (v2.0.0 for CommonJS compatibility) - In-memory tracking with automatic cleanup every 5 minutes - User-friendly error messages for each validation type Technical details: - Rate limit: 10 msg/min sliding window - Duplicate check: Last 5 messages within 60s window - Profanity: bad-words + 11 Polish words - Memory management: Periodic cleanup of expired data
