what the hell is spam on this website????????????
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
I Bid You Good Day.
Correction:this IS a newbie thread.
What does macros mean/stand for? I've always wondered that.
:D :chuckle: :lol: :laugh: :exdee: :grinpink: :upsidedow :laughing: :weep: :crying2: :hahaha:Quote:

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. :)Quote:

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.
This is spam!
HAM! :cool:
You call that spam, this is spam.

Une grande? Is that Italian?

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.
Don't abandon your banana.
I think you're all wrong, but then again, what do I know?
Nothing, obviously :tongue:
I'm never wrong.
A year and a half old thread, AND it's 30 pages long? This place must have one of the biggest freaking databases...Quote:

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.
Spam.
(edit: oops i thought this was the what did you have for dinner thread)
So very, very tired.
EDIT: Damn you Quina!
What?
Stop spamming! ;)
There's no such thing as good spam. It just takes up space and tastes fake.
Monkey are you talking to me?
Yeah, let's fight n_n Bring it on.
Is this going to be like fight club where we end up being the same person? (spoiler)
Do I have to shoot myself in the mouth? :( I really don't want to ruin my exquisite jaw.
You're taking up space . . . and you taste fake.
You wouldn't know how I taste ;)
Let's stay on topic, please.
Welcome to EoFF, Dan. :)

Spam is a spam related product or phrase that is mostly unpreferred in the online and offline community.
I think that covers it.
