Why do we spam? I am very guilty of this charge and am proud about it in a sadistic sort of way. So why do I do it? Because it is fun. As long as you don't tread past the line of pestering and humorus to rude and lewd, it is perfectly fine. I contain my spammy posts in the General Discussion area. Only the mildest of leakage spills over into the other forums. If you mantain a line of seriousness it can even be entertaining to others. While I try to do this, I am no match for the great Ogg. He acts as silly and ridiculous as anyone else. But everyone applauds his antics. Why? It is because he knows when to stop. He'll offer fantasic advice in every other board besides this one. Now I try to do the same, but of course I don't do it nearly as well. I do well enough not to get threatening hate mail, but I am not going to be cheered for my spamminess. But at least I don't tread the other extreme.
Most of you will recall a fellow named Qin. He was a truly funny and entertaning chap, but then he took it to far. He went outside of the General D area, and insulted others. The sheer volume of his postings were amazing. This pushed people like me and estranghero to post more just in order to keep up. So of course the mods were forced to ban them. But his effects still leave there imprints in me. So what am I trying to say? It is good to spam, but don't let it control you.
(After 200 some posts I had to have at least one rant. :D)
