Spaming?
 
What exactly is spaming? What qualifies as 'spam'? And why is it bad?
No, I'm not talking about the artificial canned meat. That shit is nasty.

I always hear the term and never really got a full idea of what it was.

Want to discuss a hot topic, or rant about something? This is the place. Spamming is not tolerated here.

Though I see why you are confused, these types of off topic, immature, and well simply useless posts are peppered all over this forum, even where the conversation is suposed to be devoid of such garbage.

You're welcome to leave the forum.

WetWired 2008-03-06 09:15 PM

Or better, stay and offer interesting discussion that elicits inteligent responses to curb the use of spam to pad activity ratings.

WetWired that was a great video. I love that skit from Monty Python.

WetWired 2008-03-06 10:42 PM

Well, that is the origin of the term spam as anything but meat. Whether it's spam e-mail, spam posts, or spamming a special attack in an MMO, it all originates here.

Goodlookinguy 2008-03-06 10:49 PM

Yes. I just love that skit. Really I like Monty Python in a whole.

Gotta agree here. Every single topic recently is being littered with dumbass, unintelligent posts by a few certain individuals. If you're incapable of having a decent conversation, don't post in the topic. It's that simple. The Chatterbox is the place for spam. I mean, it's been 6 years and people haven't grasped that concept yet?

Goodlookinguy 2008-03-07 08:09 AM

That's exactly why we are talking about it in here.

Thanatos 2008-03-07 08:36 AM

Umm, no shit sherlock.

And this is after I explained that response to him. He's too dense to get it.

That's the reply he's referring to. It contained significant content, however due to the forum not being a sentient being it doesn't know that, and still imposes its rules of significant content on me due to my post not matching the primitive criteria used to judge whether or not a post is significant.

Tell me, Adrena, would you have preferred that I write "asdfg?" Should I water it down and meticulously explain the irony in your post, which should be self-evident to anyone whose synapses haven't ceased firing? I would find that rather redundant, but if you need me to do that from now on for you, I can. I'm just that nice.

Have a look in the WRT, TH, or any post that comes from the fingers of kyeruu. Both are prime examples of spam.

Corrected before your post, though!

Lenny 2008-03-07 08:49 AM

Ah, but I managed to get a quote to prove it. You're not getting out of it that easily, Mr. Jordan! :p

Demosthenes 2008-03-07 08:50 AM

heh...*sigh*

gg, no re.

spam is when you feel stupid and must do something stupid for malicious intent, which is easier when you're a complete retard (yours truly)
