Okay, so who determines that I'm spamming?

Psy, don't you get enough of a spam fix with User Notes?

They do go a long away, but they're not enough for this junkie to get his spammy fix.

No, it doesn't harm server space. Spam isn't bad, but it just seems that it degrades the value of some threads. If only a few people are posting so much in such little time, that leaves out other people from wanting to add something, because their post would likely be skipped from the many posts the few posters have posted.

But alternatively you could say that some people, fed up by all of the spammy posts, would look out for on-topic posts and read them all the more eagerly.

This board has non-spam discussion, so that doesnt make any sense. And I'm not complaining, and I dont think anyone ever bothers to complain about the spam here. I just dont see the point about worrying about those 'stuck up' folks who wont let us spam constantly, when there's boards dedicated solely to spam, not to mention, as Leeza said, the user notes which are nothing but.

Not everyone gets joy or amusement from reading pages and pages of spam.

This board does indeed have boards for non-spam discussion, so why is anyone against spam when there are spam-free havens elsewhere on the board? I don't have a problem with any 'stuck up' folks stopping spam, but it does irritate me that people treat them with less worth than any other types of post here. I don't have a problem with the current EoFF spam levels, however I would have a problem if there was a mass anti-spam campaign by the staff. I'm not saying that's going to happen, but from the way some people react to it...

Correct. Not everyone gets joy or amusement from reading pages and pages of spam. But there are still an awful lot who do.

Because there are places elsewhere specifically for spam. A little spam in the other places is good... but that's all those places are for. A little. For fun. Pages and pages of it isnt accepted here, and it's annoying when people make threads in ANY forum on this board and that's what they turn into. I dont have a problem with the current levels either, I just dont see why running a board a certain way means the people dont know how to have fun. Different people, different fun.

And yes, there are an awful lot. There's an awful lot of people who enjoy porn, and there's boards out there for them, right? Im not comparing spam to porn by any means. But it does get quite annoying when someone makes a thread outside EotW or EoEo and gets it spammed six ways to hell, and it ends up closed. That's when it becomes a problem, I think. When people actually want a thread answered, serious topic or not, they more than likely have to put it in EotW or EoEo to get anything aside from 10 real answers an 50 spams. Spam is fine, in moderation, as the admins have accepted.
