    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.

    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.
