sorry nietzsche, i didn't know you were the forum police...... but here looks like you have forgotten some of the rules.
Spam is posting for the sole intention of being annoying.
There are a million ways you shouldn't be annoying, but ones worth mentioning:
HIDE: SPAMMING SPECIFICS
Double/triple/multiple posting.
Quoting just for the sake of quoting.
"QFE", "QFT" etc. do not qualify as "a meaningful post", add why you agree with the quote.
Posting only, or lots of, smilies.
Posting about yourself in a forum topic that is not specifically about you.
Posts that add nothing to the current topic.
Posting rapidly in a short time.
Posting the same thing over and over in the same or other forum topics.
Posting "parody" forum topics that aren't meant for an actual discussion.
Necrobumping (bringing dead forum topics back to life) if no new meaningful content is being added.
and here is one for people to think about before they get reported for posting something
Bigoted comments will not be tolerated---lets all tolerate and live peacefully with one another.
HIDE: BIGOTRY SPECIFICS
Bigotry includes racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia/sexual orientation bashing, religion bashing, lack of religion bashing, or wishing violence on any group of people, etc.
Bigotry takes into account historic events, emotional baggage and generally accepted associations with a term, phrase or intent - posting "White Power" in a topic has a history and is bigoted, posting "Green Power" makes you an environmentalist.
Bigotry will get your post edited/deleted and you will receive a disciplinary action from a mod. Bigotry, just avoid it. Just do it.
and please, nietzsche can you post a list of topics and threads that i can post in
