What is spam?
Spam is when you post a meaningless post. If you do this, you will have to edit it, or else it will be deleted. Try to keep all of your posts +7 words, it helps prevent this spam. Always go with the topic, even if you still have more than 5 words, it is spam. Also any remarks, saying 'Wow, that is spam above me!' is not tolerated because that is an off-topic remark. No disregarding the topic and say that this has been made 80 billion times, or this is already a NO. Because that is the Administrators job and a Moderators job. And are you, probably not either one of those.
What is so bad about spam?
It slows down the website, and clogs up the forums. It is harder to find posts that you want to find. And, it makes the value of the site worse. When you spam it is not as fun, because you don't actualy get to do what you're here for: Talking about the thread. It will not help you in any way, it might be bad for you. So don't do it.
-Well let me sum that up: It makes it harder to follow the thread, acknowledge the threads true origin, it can also lead to either the locking of or deleting of the thread prematurely.
Why would someone spam?
They want points.
They want to be known better.
People who spam are easily noticed. They want points, what does that mean? It means, if they spam, they get more AP. Spam posts would get you 1 AP, so they would go higher in the ranks. But if you are caught and you will, then it would actually make you lose AP.
Results:
-AP loss
-Premature closure if threads
-Banishment
-Community infamous
-Confusion
SO DO NOT SPAM
