1,000th post - so what's SPAM then?

[DiddyDave]

Hi all

Been here for a 1,000 posts now apparently

Thank you all for your help and support, I'm glad to say I've learned a great deal in the relatively short time I've been hereabouts; and if I've helped a couple of times too, that's great

My query then... SPAM???

When does a conversation become SPAM? I've had a few sessions on threads in discussion about a subject and not seen such called SPAM; yet when in 'normal' conversation for more than a few posts the word SPAM or accusation of 'SPAMMING' appears

Now I've no issue with anyone over it, just wondering why some conversations are SPAM and others not?

Anyway, cheers all

:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

Thanks Marcel - i didn't realise the definition would be that technical :D

I note you're going to close the MSN thread, is this for spam? Or is there a reason why the forum can't have hugely long threads if members are happily playing in conversation?

Again, no issues here, just wondering how it works?

I think you'll find spam is when someone describes Nikon as being better than Canon:nono::rules:






































Or infact visa versa;)

[DiddyDave]

'Forum regular' ???

1,001 posts and that's all I get? :lol:

So how do I qualify for a silly title instead? Go on, make one up mods :)

I told him this. I said we were happily playing along in the thread and everyones MSN contacts have grown. And granted there is a lot of off-topic-ness, but we were in an "out of focus" group. Granted there may be some smuttiness....but surely thats no reason to close the thread. We've kept everyone entertained!

Congrats DD :clap:

As for the titles it normally happens if you do or say something stupid.

[chewyuk]

I think you should change your title to Double D ;)

Nice idea - but wouldn't everyone expect a voluptuous lady at meets?

There'd be disappointment then surely!

And I'd hate there to be any disappointed members :D
