Title: Spam

I want to ask what's the "interval of time in posting"  must to be considered, to get away from being a spammer or banning my account.

You keep getting banned because of your posts, not the time interval between them.

yes, you should stay on the topic when you are posting. Otherwise you will get banned and the off topic contents will get deleted!

AFAIK there's no rule about posting too fast. sometime ago I saw someone making 2-3 posts in 10 minutes for a full hour and didn't even get banned. so I think you won't get banned as long as 1. your posts are not considered off-topic or insubstantial,2. not having the same content as your previous posts, 3. not trolling or advertising a site, or 4. not posting too much on the pointless daily thread on the off-topic section.

I'm sure there's more. but that's all I can think of

Plus isn't there a limit for newbies to how much they can post in a certain amount of time anyways?

Yes, there is.
The limit isn't only for newbies, because it's based on activity:

Code:
waittime = 360;
if(activity >= 15)
        waittime = (int)(90 - activity);
if(activity >= 60)
        waittime=(int)(34.7586 - (0.0793103 * activity));
if(activity >= 100)
        waittime = max((int)(14-(activity/50)), 4);

In the case someone doesn't understand it, here is a good "translation" of the code above:

Its just activity, see the formula you linked. Its boild down to 3 basic steps:

the first major reduction to 75-30 seconds once your activity is over 14, but still not 60 or higher
the second reduction to 30-27 seconds once your activity is 60 or higher, but still not 100 or higher
the third reduction to 12-4 seconds once your activity is 100 or higher.

Once you reached 500 actitivty you will be stuck at a 4 second limit, which I notice once in a blue moon.
