Spam

[Jens]

well, can't you as well just delete the number that shows how many posts you have, i mean, the only reason why we keep it is for groups like Gods and Mafia, but they are inactive anyway. posting faster to get a higher number works to anyone, including me sometimes...

I agree that we all should take notice of ourselves and make sure if we are spamming or not.But,please be kind if someone does that cause it might be a accident!

[/b]

Just a question: how can spamming be an accident?

They probably couldn't think of anything to say in the first place so they just post ridiculous crap.

Well,if they don't know that they are posting useless things that other people already said or they just don't know that it is wrong to go off topic and like post like crazy.

Yeah you could do that and I don't think that is spamming...

Not neceesarily. People usually consider double posts spamming, and they can occur either by a mod deleting a message between two post by the same person or a glitch which posts the same thing twice.

I don't think I've been spamming, outside of the Gnome Legion and CCC board, but its primarily desighned to be spammed all over. I guess will all have to keep a look for suspiciously stupid and pointless post.

Yes I agree that double posting could be a accident.


I don't think I have been spamming.My topics aren't useless and I don't double post or anything so I don't have to worry about that...

You just did double post, for the second time in this topic. -_- I'd advise you to read the rules before you break any more of them.

[Ellentelayna]

Double Posting is when you post the same thing twice!And I didn't!

Not really. If you make another post after you already posted, it's still a doublepost.

I don't consider that spamming lol I consider that saying 2 different things but whatever. I apoogize if that was spam but,if I posted a LOT in a row then I would consider that spamming but not just 2.So lol lets continue on with the discussion

Yes, that would be considered spam, however I can't do anything about it since I'm not a moderator of this board.

For future reference, the definition of spam often follows this acronym:

Stupid
Pointless
Annoying
Messages

On forums, that usually means saying the exact same thing someone said earlier, messages that have no relation to the topic, copy/paste messages (the same thing in many topics), 'me too' types of messages that add no further insight besides the 'me too', double posts not caused by glitches, multiple topics about the same thing, pointless topics/messages, and saying something like 'did it go well?' in a long-dead topic about something. That's only a few things, and many of them (like the multiple topics) can be accidents.

like I said saying like 5 posts in a row that don't mean anything is spam.But,I think just doing 2 posts in a row with different meanings and that aren't stupid and meaningless is not considered spam to me.And when I posted that " spam could be a accident " then I meant about there might be a glitch that made the message be posted twice.


I guess off topic might be a accident as well if they get on the wrong board,but that is likely ,NOT to happen.

On this particular forum, posting twice in a row IS spamming, I feel you keep trying to find loophole in it and its not going to work that way; if you want to add something else and no-one has posted after you just edit your post, don't go try and revise the rules for your own convience.

[Ellentelayna]

yes I know but I am just saying my opinions and telling what to me is considered spamming for things other than this board.I am not trying to find a loophole around it.If Iwant to say something else I know to edit it and I am not trying to change the rules.I am just telling my different views of spamming and how other people do it.

And I am just finding out that some things are considered spamming on THIS board since I am new and everything but,please I am just trying to say my opinions,NOT offend anyone,learn from you guys,NOT trying to break the rules or change them.But,I feel that sometimes whenever someone says something you don't like or have different views on you have to jump on them and try to correct them when they don't know something or they have different views.So lol as I am saying I am just trying to say MY opinions and that is all,
