The Guide to Spam[/color][/U]
There are three distinctive types of Spam, and only one of them is the type we like to see here. So here is the guide to what Spam is what
Type 1[/size][/color]
The first type of Spam is the bad Spam. It is killer Spam. What I am referring to here is the type of post that can stop a thread in its tracks. All too often I have seen a good discussion stopped by a member putting in a one liner that is completely irrelevant and unnecessary. This type of Spam will result in post deletion and removal of post count.
Type 2[/size][/color]
The Second Type of Spam, is good Spam. It is the nurturing life force of many forums. This is the only type of Spam which I want to see This type of Spam does two main things for us. Firstly, it keeps the forums alive and active, this will often encourage members to join. The second thing it does is it helps us to get to know each other better; it gives us a little bit more insight into who we are :)You may be wondering what exactly this type of Spam is. Well, a good example of Good Spam is the post something about the person above you game, it is in essence nothing more than simple Spam, but it gives us an insight into each others lives and how we feel about each other. I want to see more of this type of Spam around the forums so that we can get to know each other better by seeing each others thought and opinions, and so that we can keep the forums really alive ;D
Type 3[/size][/color]
The third and final type of Spam is nothing to do with posts. It is that stuff which comes in a tin. But that doesn’t mean I don’t mind it being all over the forums, it is a complete pain cleaning it off of everything.
