It's either the food you eat or, more often than not, it refers to posts that are considered to be pointless and/or annoying and/or off-topic and/or irrelevant and/or stupid.

1. To post irrelevant or inappropriate messages, mailing lists, or other messaging system in deliberate or accidental violation of
netiquette.

2. To indiscriminately send large amounts of unsolicited e-mail meant to promote a product or service. Spam in this sense is sort of like the
electronic equivalent of junk mail sent to "Occupant".

3. To abuse any network service or tool by for promotional purposes.

4. To crash a program by overrunning a fixed-size buffer with excessively large input data

5. To flood any chat forum or Internet game with purposefully annoying
text or macros

6. A canned meat made largely from pork

A single, user-defined command that is part of an application and executes a series of commands.

in chat, it translates as clout's Cookie Monster.

Your help is much appreciated, but I'm 99.9% computer illiterate, so none of that made sense to me. Can anyone explain what macros means/stands for in laymans terms? Examples, graphs, diagrams and pretty pictures have been known to work with me. :)

marcos are collections of frequently used commands which are grouped together in a file. Instead of entering commands individually, users can call the macro and the commands stored therein will be executed automatically.

An Anology would be eating out as opposed to cooking at home. Cooking for yourself at home is sans macros, cooking, preparing, laying the table. Going to a resteraunt is with macros, it's already done for you, all you need to do is order & eat.

EDIT: That is possibly the worst anology ever, I apologise unreservedly, I offer my sister as compensation.

Macros stand for? Macromorphicschezonictenesis . . .

Macros are what happens when you click "quote" and someone else's posting appears in your post.
Macros are what happens when you click a smilie and the URL appears in your post.
Macros are what happens when you click the hyperlink button and that extra window pops up asking you to enter info.
Macros are what happens when you click a hyperlink and you are taken instantly to another place.

French. Literally translated, it means 'a big thank you'.

It's better translated as 'Thank you very much' though.

Spam is the act of saying something in a thread purely to say it without having any value. Spam does not contribute to threads. Spam will get you banned.

Spam is saying "this thread may potentially never end." Many people have different views on spam (apparently) thus that statement is alease partially true. However, it is irrelevant and therefore in itself "Spam." However the second and third sentences are relative to this topic which makes this post non-spam. Spam + non-spam = I'm confused.

There is good spam and bad spam. Most of what has been discussed here is the bad spam. If you want the good spam, you'll have to find a time machine and go back to when I wasn't so tired.
