Spam on topic? No spam?

I see these after some of the thread titles in this forum. What's the deal?

Thread starter's take on a topic, whether they want a serious discussion out of it, hence the 'no spam' tag, or they want to poke fun at it, using the 'spam on topic' tag. ;)

Me? I can't be bothered to use either of them. :p
''They say truth is the first casualty of war. But who defines what's true? Truth is just a matter of perspective. The duty of every soldier is to protect the innocent, and sometimes that means preserving the lie of good and evil, that war isn't just natural selection played out on a grand scale. The only truth I found is that the world we live in is a giant tinderbox. All it takes...is someone to light the match" - Captain Price

Say you're in a thread about favorite makes and models of cars with the phrase, "spam on topic." DW brings up the importance of having sex in cars. C Elegans interrupts to suggest the way various endorphins affect both driving and sex. Loki discusses how he enjoys watching cars being wrecked. Bloodstalker says that having sex in a car being wrecked is generally a bad idea.

On the other hand, if a thread about favorite makes and models of cars has "no spam" on it, the thread will only contain posts about favorite makes and models of cars. Sad, really, because cars are pretty dull.

Thanks.

Remind me not to make a thread about cars.

Agree with the first part... :D
But, I'm not at all sure about the accuracy bit.... There's no way I'd be waxing eloquent about sex in cars... :speech:
Sex on the beach maybe.. but definitely not cars :D

What about sex in a convertible at the beach?

Hello, fable. I am surprised to see you here at this moment. I expected you to be trotting off to the new world of Dragon Age. :D I actually came GB to see the reaction for it from members here, in order to decide whether I should order it now or wait for a few patches.

As for your question regarding sex in a convertible at the beach, I strongly against it; too wet, too windy, and too cold.

Right, so one vote against sex on the beach in a convertible at night. No comment yet on daytime horizontal calisthenics.

Greetings to you Minerva, it's been a while. Hope you are well :)

Now.. as to the question at hand, it really depends on the location and personal preference I suppose.
That being said, if the outside temperatures are warm...wet, windy and cold are not really a problem..
However, skip the convertible.. Apart from teens who lack choices, I don't see any attraction to sex in a car, convertible or otherwise.. unless you're talking a van or something (which is just tacky) it's cramped and uncomfortable.

People please, we're missing the hypothetical Loki addition of 'watching'. To be fully inclusive we should be debating sex in a convertible on the beach at night while being watched.
I was looking up the specific term - I know there is one beyond vanilla voyeurism - but Google returned a lot of links on [url="http://digg.com/odd_stuff/The_Strangest_Fetish_Ever_Dragons_Having_Sex_with_Cars"]dragons having sex with cars (safe link but be careful how far into the secondary links you go)[/url] so now I'm just confused - help me DW or CE!

I was considering reporting everyone in this thread as superfluous spammers, since the title clearly says "No spam," but then I realized that "Spam on topic" + "No spam" is a double negative, which essentially cancel's each other out (in English, at least). Therefore, the thread is, in reality, begging for, nay, demanding spam! In point of fact, the OP has actually achieved the quintessential spam thread, surpassing all tavern threads and even the forgotten Goody thread in its spam-ability! :speech:

Well done Endboss! :eek: :D
That there; exactly the kinda diversion we coulda used.

lmao! Well from your link.. I also found [url="http://jalopnik.com/5356456/ten-worst-cars-to-have-sex-in/gallery/"]the Ten Worst Cars to have Sex in[/url]
Touching upon your voyeurism query.. there are also entries there on limos and topdowns :D

Eh... but the thing about dragons having sex with cars... is.. odd... I'm at a loss to help you out there :p

Gwally, reading that just made my head hurt... :D

So, are we steering towards having sex with a car parked on the beach and being watched by a dragon, or having sex on a dragon while being watched by a beach patrol equipped with cars?

Some time ago, at a gym, i found one of those magazines intended for men, every issue of which is full of hilariously stupid 'articles' on sex and muscle building. So i was prepared, but not enough, for a text on having sex in different 'unusual' places. The author was strongly against doing it in a car, because, and i quote, "the transmission lever is an annoying rival" :laugh:
