    Default Spam vs. Tangents

    no trig comments plz >:O

    Does going off on a somewhat related tangent in a thread count as spam, since it's not related to the original topic of the thread? Discuss.

    I think that depends on a case by case basis as to the thread and the sort of tangent and it's size It could even be in-between, in which case a thread split would be done instead

    It's more fun to go on a witch hunt than actually figure out what really is spam.

    This is a pet peeve of mine. Off-topic on a tangent to the original discussion is not, in and of itself, spam.

    Tangents are what make threads interesting.
