Spaming?
Reply
Posted 2008-03-06, 03:28 PM
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.
When my time comes, I want to be burried face down. That way, anyone that doesn't like me, can kiss my ass!

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

You know what... never mind.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

Actually, that was the five letter requirement. I just wanted to quote you. Twice.

The irony was self-evident, I was merely accentuating it.
But check it out for yourself: http://zelaron.com/forum/showpost.ph...7&postcount=10

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.

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)
