Spam is Short, Pointless, Annoying, Messages. There is a topic about it in the user's guide to Tamatalk.ok ill stay but wHAT IS SPAM?
Type 2B - Backseat Moderator Posts
Occasionally, we have members who see a type 2A (offtopic and irrelevant) post and are then compelled to post something like:
This is SPAM!Please don't SPAM!The reasons why these type of posts are also SPAM are as follows:Reported! SPAM is not allowed
1. They aren't related to the topic being discussed
2. They encourage other members do the same and cause the thread to deviate further off topic
3. A serial SPAMmer is looking for a reaction and by making posts such as that.. well congratulations.. you've given them just what they were looking for!
4. An uninentional SPAMmer is not going to come back to that thread to look at who responded specifically to their post and therefore serves no teaching purpose.
5. Guides do not have an automatic sensor that can detect when someone posts "this is SPAM" to clean it up
6. When a Guide has to clean up, this backseat moderating post also has to go thereby creating more work for the Guide!
