Concerning Spam

:Concerning Spam:

Spamming (v.) Modern English- To make many posts about things off topic, or to talk to one specific person about something others do not wish to hear in a public topic.

This is a little more complicated, and there are a lot of examples. Here is one, using Larry and Bob.

Bob wrote:
((OOC: Hey Bob, do you want to get a burger after we post this?

Larry wrote:
((OOC: Sure thing.))

See, even though we put the OOC markings, talking out of conversation that is not in Private Messaging is called SPAMMING.

Spamming, type 2.

Now, there's a second sort of Spam, which is where people go off and post on subjects to boost their posts. THAT IS NOT OKAY! Here is an example....because Bob is the number one spammer on a different forum site.....

Bob wrote:
I was thinking about adding new Mods to the site, you know? Just to help things move along?

Larry wrote:
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing man.

Now, he might have meant to say that for the purpose, but it looked like he was posting JUST to be posting.
