FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT DONT UNDERSTAND,
SPAM stands for: Stupid, Pointless and Annoying Messages (or for: "Something Posing As Meat", but that's beside the point).
What constitutes or defines SPAM? Here's a helpful definition:
1) Freakishly short Posts : Stuff like "Yes", "Okay", "I don't know", "We know that", etc. If you don't have anything to say in a topic, don't do so. If someone asks a question, for cryin' out loud, DON'T say you don't know the answer! If you don't have anything important to say - don't say it.
2) Pointless Posts : Posts that have NOTHING to do with the topic. At all. If the conversation sways off topic, that's one thing. If it's just starting a whole new topic with no connection to last one, start a new freakin' thread, or keep it to yourself. And keep topics where they belong. Do no post in the wrong section, if you are not sure, then better ask someone via PM.
3) Return Appearances: Aka "Didn't I just see that one a few pages ago?" Please, people, do yourselves a favor and check if there isn't a thread having to do with what you're about to post. If you're asking a question, see no one asked it before you and you're missing out on an answer. And If you start a thread just to say or to ask something that was posted before, that's also treated as SPAM.
4) Conversational Posts : These are akin to a guy talking loudly on his cell phone during a club meeting. You're here to discuss topics with all the members of the board. If you want to talk to someone in specific - USE PRIVATE MESSAGES. Or Email. Or AIM. Or ICQ. Or any other freaking' IM program. Don't waste space on the board.
5) Double Posting : When you state your opinion let someone else post! It Is very Annoying when people double post so please just don't do it.
That's it. Avoid doing that and you'll be pretty much fine. SPAM will be swiftly dealt with, as stated in the rule topic.
