Which threads are spam and which are not?

Hi The Elite. As I have known a while ago that our MS points have been reset due to spam posting, so how do we know if the thread we're posting to is a spam or not? Thanks.

Points were not reset, they were recounted. A thread is spam if it's useless, offers no quality to the forum, and has no form of discussion. Posts are spam if they are of low quality, don't offer to a thread or anything inappropriate.

"Spam is the use of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately. While the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, wiki spam, online classified ads spam, mobile phone messaging spam, Internet forum spam, junk fax transmissions, social networking spam, television advertising and file sharing network spam."

So basically junk.

Right. Almost every thread here is spam especially in the General Discussion area. I dunno if you can remove all the spam threads to give way to new, more "ïntelligent" discussions.

Well the point of this forum is to post. Mostly they just post stuff or questions about anything they think. Sometimes its spam, but sometimes its, well normal I guess. But spam like a464uio3ylrflgjlls nfslnc sdl should be removed.

Conclusion:
It's up to the moderators/owner to decide what is allowed and what not.
