Dropped From Server for 'Message Spam'

Dropped from server from message spam, as soon as I log into any character. What is going on? I've turned all my addons off, still the same.

    3rd time's a charm it seems. I finally managed to get in.

    In case anyone asks:

    Yes my computer is optimised and up to date.
    Yes my internet is fine.
    No I have never had this issue before.
    No I typed nothing in guild chat, zone chat, etc. I literally lasted 2 seconds before being removed for spam.

    Check that a key is not stuck on your keyboard - this error message is poorly worded, it doesn't mean chat message or mail, it means "a message sent to the server." If a skill key is stuck on your keyboard it can be sending too many messages.

    This has been happening to me recently, as well. Specifically, it happens when I do a /reloadui. When I looked into it, the information that I found all pointed toward this being an issue with lag. Apparently, it's caused by "messages" to the server getting backed up, then suddenly all sending at once. The server interprets the sudden flood of messages as spam, and kicks the user. ("Messages" refers to any data sent to the server, not to chat.)

    this happens sometimes even on console. It's not your fault

    It is a glitch and has been happening for a long time. It seems from what some of my gaming buddies have reported, that if you hit a really large lag and you are entering keyboard strokes at the time, when they eventually get through, the system detects it as spam. Have noticed it seems to happen during very high ping.

    Thank you for the suggestion, but no, unfortunately that's not the case.

    Thank you to everyone who replied. I genuinely thought it was something potentially wrong with my installation. I appreciate the responses and it seems to have been a one time thing (thankfully!) I will continue to monitor my ping, etc. but it seems stable, usually.
