WHAT IS SPAMMING?

You got a spam warning. You have no idea what you did to consider that as a spam. Well, this thread would enlighten you.

From definition, taken from dictionary.com, spam is to post irrelevant or inappropriate messages to one or more Usenet newsgroups, mailing lists, or other
messaging system in deliberate or accidental violation of netiquette.

In the forum's case however, spams are posts which have no real significance to the topic or the discussion.

What posts are considered as spam?

1. One to three word posts with no relation to the topic.

Such as agreement on the topic poster. You can agree with the poster by posting support statement. If you have nothing more to say, then I think there is nothing more to post.

Examples:
Quote:
 

TAMA!

Quote:
 
I agree!!

Quote:
 
YES!!


2. Personal conversations

There is a PM function in the forums. Please use it for personal chats. FYI, the forum is not a chatroom.

Example:
Quote:
 
The topic is about Magician Builds.

Poster 1: So that concludes that STR is useless.
Poster 2: Oh, hi Poster 1 how are you
Poster 1: I'm fine... How was you weekend?
Poster 2: Fantastic! We went to the beach.


3. Emoticon Replies

Need I say more?

4. Very Off-topic posts

Self-explanatory

Example:

Quote:
 
Topic: Assist builds?

Poster 1: What do you think is the best assist build?
Spammer 1: I don't know about assists but MERC must have STR!
Spammer 2: I love your signature spammer 1!!! Where did you get it?
Spammer 3: He got it from blah blah.com
Spammer 1: Yes, it's pretty, isn't it?


5. False Vigilance

Example:
Quote:
 
Topic Concluded.

Topic Closed.

Thread Reported.
