What is spam you ask?

[TheCEO]

We have read several post concerning what is spam. The following is a definition of spam:
Spam posts may contain anything from a single link, to dozens of links. Text content is minimal, usually innocuous and unrelated to the forum's topic.
Please remember, if you do spam the forum you can & will be removed.

[OP66fozzy]

What is almost as bad as spam, is seeing people responding to it.

If it is obviously spam, then either pm a mod or ignore it.

Posting in the thread 'this is spam, a mod should get rid of it' is completely pointless. That actually suggests that you have read it, considered it spam, considered a mod would have read it and need your opinion to make their mind up that it is spam.

Madness, or an easy way to increase post count.

Stare, the reason I created the thread was so that people understood what spam in the forum was all about. If you need a hand here, post the question. Our members are more than willing and very helpful.
Thanks goes to all the members for helping the other members with providing mostly correct answers to the questions they ask.

Check the size of your avatar your trying to upload. I uploaded three different one the same time you were trying, mine worked.

the inernet is new to me and am not really sure how to spot spam, can somebody help me.

Personally I don't believe spam is a horrible crime, just mildly annoying. I don't think it's that big of a deal.

Personally I do. Try read through all the treads someday for legitimate questions and answers. It makes it rather tedious when you keep running across spam after spam posts. Rules are rules, please follow them.

I agree wholeheartedly. Even if you don't think it's that bad, either you don't post it or you will end up getting banned.
