Spamming is a difficult topic to define and as such i will not attempt to tie this subject down to specific catagories. Spam is quite simply the posting of irrelevancies. It is the posting of topics which have no discussion potential or the posting of individual replies which do not add to a current discussion but only seek to increase a post count and/or undermine a thread of a serious discussion. The bumping of threads is not acceptable and this should only be done by a mod at his/her own discretion. The posting of large IRC logs and/or News reports is boring and of no interest to the large majority of board users. If you wish to post such things then make sure they are to the point and easy to read.
