Do I spam?

Post Reply New Topic

As you know sometimes here I post 3-5 messages a day very "talky" a lot going on in my life other times I'm not here for days or over a week. This message board is to talk about Autism/AS and overall how it affects our lives the good & the bad correct?

I've had No issues with WP and thankfully no one here has had issues with me.

Sadly a video game board (Monster Hunter) says "I'm spamming" 27 topics in a week.

But?

Is a message board NOT to talk about *insert game?* Just as WP is to talk about Autism?

I thought that was what a message board was for correct???

I'm an Aspie so perhaps I'm wrong in this view I'm sort of confused here.

Limit my posts to once a day (The reddit people said).

I'd never dream of having that limit here. Again if I post 4-5 in a day a lot in life upsetting me fine. If not for days or a week or longer and I just pop in with my issues that is fine for WP members and myself either one fits me and my lifestyle.

yet AGAIN a message board is to talk about that video game series right????

Asking yourself the following questions might help you see your posting with clearer perspective...

Of the posts you make, how many are responding to other people, and how many are creating new topics? That is, do you both contribute, and take note of other people's contributions?

Do the threads you create have distinct and clear topics that don't overlap too much?

Do the threads you create receive many engaging replies? (i.e. not just people complaining that you made another thread).

There are no "right" answers to these, of course, and every forum has different expectations. They're just intended to help you take a little pause to wonder how a post might be received before pressing 'submit'.

I can't see how you are bothering anyone. There are others who post probably 5 times as much as you and they still aren't spammers. I think the only person we can agree is a spammer is that Baja love specialist who blows up the forum on a daily basis. Post away!

Spam is supposed to stand for Short, Pointless, Annoying Messages. I think the problem comes when one member posts a lot of topics that don't add too much but take up room on the front page, so that their posts get significantly more space than those of the rest of the forum.

You don't seem like a spammer to me.

Oh hi. You rock! Thanks! I grew up in the dial up age and early email and "Spam" was annoying ads and Nigerian princes send be $5,000 dollar emails.

I didn't know in the context of boards that spam was (Short,Pointless,Annoying Messages.) That makes a lot more since now!

I hate being old going on 30 and I didn't know what "spam" meant to this generation (never heard it used as an acronym like that.

Plus the hip swear words that the teens use now a days am I 60 or going on 30 LOL!

Uh OMG! I LOVE HOUSE!
