For such a simple little statement, it has a lot of meanings. So many infact, that this entry will probably be more of a section by the time Im finished ( infact, I may aswell go on and underline it ). As many of you will no doubt know, the origins and explanations of the term "Spam" are highly debated. The most widely held belief is that it is an acronym meaning "Short Pointless Annoying Messages". We at PPT also believe this. To ensure your posts do not fall into the category of spam, try and ensure all posts are at least 3 words in length. This is more of a guideline than a rule, as it is often perfectly possible to add your own thought to a topic in one word. However, it does not take a lot of effort to add a few extra words, and the staff will have words ( pun intended ) with anybody posting "yes", and "no", on every topic they can find.
But Spam does not have to be short at PPT. Typing a 6000 word message detailing the many subtle nuances one must consider when buying cheese in a thread dedicated to a new Neopet Colour is also a type of Spam. We call this;
Ie. This is spam. Please stop. If you want to talk as you are I suggest a messenger program. These forums are not the place for it.

Evisceration is a sign of respect.
