Call me stupid but I don't actually know what it means. I thought it was something like putting advertisements in a thread, but I guess I'm wrong.

Check out
Webopedia for the best answer to your question. Some people say it is an acronym for
Stupid
Posts
And
Mail, but in its most general use, it means any email that is unsolicited or intended to sabotage a mail server.
Around here, spam refers to any post that doesn't have much redeeming social value and is just for fun.

So that's what it is. So, basically, it's just some nonsense post/thread.

No, he had a perfectly good question. Of course, once it was answered, everything else that followed was spam. Including your post, and mine.
