  • Spam?

    Well, since I am relatively new on this site I was wondering what excactly constitutes a Spam? I mean I know what spam is when it comes to email, alas I get a lot of them but on the forums!?

      So you mean to tell me that a post without a genuine point is a spam? I am thoroughly confused because if that's it then the Off-Topic Forum is quite full of them?

        Quite.

          that's why the Off Topic forum doesn't increase your postcount.

            Moreover, that's why it's called the Off Topic Forum

                Quite.
                I agree.

                  I think I get the idea. Worse some are way more pointless (is there such a thing?) than others like the one aaglo just pointed to!

                    Like flies round a ****

                    Mods are slipping. I found a 100% pure spam thread before deletia/lockdown. Heck it even has "Spam" as an obvious pointer.

                            For some reason the mods often thinks that worthwhile posts are also Spam.

                              I should also warn you against threads about Macedonia or questuions about hairy Greeks. For some reason they upset Markos.
