Spam is the art of posting off topic. that's the blunt of it.

ex-topic is have you ever been out to eat.

reply 1-no i haven't ever been out to eat, my wife or I cook every night.(not spam)

reply 2-i went for a drive in my car yesterday.(spam)

reply 3-did you really? what do you drive?(spam)

reply 4-WHY ARE YOU GUYS SPAMMING UP MY TOPIC!!!!(topic poster is infuriated by the spam being posted in his/her topic)

I think my toenails need cutting. (spam)
But posting strange and varies topics on a board that owes its existence to RPGs should be considered a form of spam, don't you think? (not spam)

I would rate you a triple spammer.

Hmmm, well according to that definition, I don't think I deserve to be at the top of the Spammer list. I don't post off-topic that much

Besides, according to that, this topic isn't spam. Because spam is the topic, so posting spam in here isn't spam. So it isn't possible to have a spam topic because whatever is posted in it wouldn't be spam, because it wouldn't be off-topic. How perplexing.

Good point, Georgi. I would guess the same goes for Tavern threads, which are tacitly defined as spam-only topics. I suppose serious subjects discussed in taverns would consititute spam (i.e. cancer).

@Georgi & Gwalchmai: This thread is for spammers only, therefore whether you are spamming or not, all posters here are spammers. And you are already in here.

Mind you, this one was created before we had pubs/taverns in the SYM.
