By out, I meant a permanent ban. There's no fixed amount of spam where you get banned, at least not according to what I see. It's up to the mods discretion.
Technically all they need is evidence that you are doing it consciously and not because you haven't read the rules or don't understand them. That is, posting five posts, one after the other with no content, or perhaps a "a" "b" "c" content would most likely mean a ban was flying at you, if nothing then to get to you to stop and read the rules, something that is unlikely if you are going by above methods of getting AP.
im not sure about the numbers, but if you get too many spams they will TEMPORARILY ban u, and they will delete your spam AP
Wow, your ability to sum up stuff the poor guy already know is amazing. How do you do that? Does it take some extra practice to state the absolute obvious while contributing near to nothing to the topic?
