    Spam is dishing out your skills as much as possible until you got pentakill or running out of mana.

    Be thankful they haven't counted it as spam.

    It would be hilarious if they did though. lol

    Should've added a 'Serious' and 'No derailing' tag

    Sorry, went to take a nap. Since it doesn't look like any other mods have replied here, I'll share what I think. I just woke up less than a minute ago, though, so forgive me if this isn't particularly eloquent or thoughtful.

    I think that posting becomes spam when it is completely irrelevant, of a very high frequency, or both. Absolutely anything can become spam when you post it enough. For example, posting "I'm glad Trump won the election" on your profile or a friend's, while not endearing you to Parth, isn't spam... Posting it on a few dozen profiles in the space of five minutes would be spam. Posting it in a thread about Meng Hao kicking demonic cultivator arse would also be spam, because it would be completely irrelevant to the topic.

    In General Chat, you can get by with spam more often than not. In other sections of the forums, it's better to stay on topic.

    For a lot of cases, though, it's not like there are clearly defined lines dividing what constitutes legitimate forum use and what's just spam. It's going to be a judgement call on the mod's part, y'know? So make it a judgement call on yours.

    If YOU think it's spam, chances are a mod is going to agree with you, so just don't post it.
    If YOU think someone is going to report you for derailing their thread, don't do it!

    Huh.
    You know, I've been around here a while.
    And I'm under the impression that @Parth37955 or @Shio will ban you for pretty much anything.
    I feel stumped....

    Time to delete the this thread?

    @Shio!? @Shio bans people!?!!?

    Anyway, Parth only bans people if they poke him. Repeatedly. Volx, for example, has a history of teasing Parth. It's part of this recent ban, don'tchaknow? Parth isn't going to randomly ban you for no reason, and when you *do* get banned, it's temporary. A day off the forums won't kill you. Even getting a 3-day ban requires some pretty regular troublemaking. I've only seen a handful of perma bans, and those were for some pretty outrageous troublemaking. That, or accounts clearly created just to spam and/or advertise.

    Surprisingly lax compared to the rumors.
    Thought @Parth37955 was a demon or something.

    What, you thought saying Parth's name three times into a mirror would get you perma banned?

    Let's try it?
    (Kids, don't try this at home)
    @Parth37955, @Parth37955, @Parth37955. Come forth and do what you do on a usual basis! (Which I sincerely hope is nothing)

    Edit: That face of regret when I realize Parth is online...

    So, what if the poster don't know if he/she post spam?

    If you take the Wiki definition of spam, it's more or less a mass of messages that do not pertain to the subject.

    May I take the next 5 messages as my example.
