A little spam here in a thread titled "U suck!!" (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=148355&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=)

An ironically named thread when I think about it, was thinking the same thing myself, in relation to certain types of people ...

:wink:

Well, I think it is spam. Me-thinks it is spam. It is. I think.

...

Bon'a'delete. :)

And good-night ...

How is that post spam?

Spam : unsolicited usually commercial e-mail sent to a large number of addresses

Obnoxious - yes, Spam - No.

According to NS rules, that thread was considered spam.

Sorry but "I say so" isn't much of an explaination. The post violated the forum's rules, true but not because it was spam. I'm not a grammer nazi (I make plenty of my own mistakes) but calling every unsolicited message spam means that every message not responding to a spam would be spam.

Our definition of "spam" is different to what you may find elsewhere. Any out-of-place, meaningless, content-free posts, especially if repetitive, are considered spam. If it makes you feel better, it was also trolling.

Actually, considering you agreed to play by the ToS of this site, "I say so," in accordance to the rules in perfectly valid.

Well, I think T.H. just got you there.

After all, this IS all Max Barry's Father Knows Best State, :wink:
