Could someone explain to me how you all define "spam&qu

[detlef]

Obviously I know what spam is in general but it seems to have a different meaning here. Most often it is used when somebody has the gall to not agree with someone's post. When the OP doesn't get a flood of responses all stroking them and saying what a great idea is and, rather gets a bunch of people telling them that it was a stupid question, etc. they accuse the people of "spamming" them.

Could someone break it down for me? I really want to be one of the cool kids and use all the right lingo here.

Spam is a post/thread that serves little or no purpose. It's like having a conversation on a thread. That's one example. Or it could be really random, like what Colaalone, does. He just walks in a posts a picture of something. Anything. As you continue to post, you will recognise spam more easily. Now, go of and Spam young one. Maybe someday you can join Spamalot Until then…

MITTENS!
