However, if I start to post "I love cats" in every comment I post on the forum, suddenly i have turned a harmless phrase into spamming.
Thats where people need to be mindful of what they are doing and how this might look to others.
You cant defend spamming the forum by saying, "But it was from the Bible" and not expect to get BANNED!
Trust me, no one will care how lofty you think the words you kept posting over and over were, if they start to get just too repe***ive you are going to be considered to be disrespecting the other members of the forum...
and you are showing disrespect.
And all this is just so easy to avoid if people would just use their head and consider how their posts may look to others?
If you find that there is a chance someone might consider your post to be against the spirit or letter of the rules, then rephrase things so that they dont appear that way....
its so simple, its called "editing".
Why do some think that can be clever enough to get around this ?
Why would anyone spend so much effort attempting to skirt a rule that is created so that people engage with each other on an equal footing?
so starting right now this is going to be a spamming-free zone!
