what is spamming, exactly?
« on: May 01, 2006, 12:53:36 PM »
I was just accused of spamming at a non-AS board.  I invited 17 people to a different board of the same topic via PM.  10 people accepted and registered.  Then I get a PM from the admin saying I am spamming.

Do I not understand what spamming is?

I thought spamming was sending out a huge amount of messages to random people.  All these people were hand selected.

This makes me think of Alex claiming that URLs for alternate AS sites is "spamming."

So... am I a Spammer Extraordinaire?

Please define spamming for me.

I feel dirty now.

First we need to agree on what spam is before we can know what to do with it. Know thy enemy, sleep with him, study him until you know what it's thinking before it does it know's itself. Does spam live? It takes doesnt give, am i talking like a div? Come on everyone, what does Spam mean to you, personally?

Sorry, that's clever banter.

I must understand the heart of spam!

Though I know McJ is a troll at heart ;).

Did you happen to notice that McJagger posted the same thing all over the forum, Shima?

Yes, but I figured he meant what he was linking to is spam.  I still say: too clever for spam.  Spam must be empty of meaning, and dirty.  It feels dirty to give it, and dirty to get it.

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.
