    Dumb question: What constitutes spam in CAJ OT forums?

    The reason I ask is, I seem to have been accused today by a number of DIYMA members of spamming their OT forum.

    Having read "NO SPAM!!!" in the forum rules, I'm not at all sure what and/or how one's post(s) might constitute spam here at CAJ.

    Apologies for what may be a dumb (but nonetheless sincere) question.

    Too good to be true prices on Ray ban sunglasses, or I made thousands working from home, etc.

    I.E. attempting to sell/market dubious items or schemes. That's pretty much what I thought spamming was. For the record, I've never done anything remotely of the sort at DIYMA (or anywhere else).

    Also, meaningless posts to run up a post count might be considered spam by some.

    Makes sense. I've seen and reported a fair bit of that at DIYMA.

    In this context, "spam' means unsolicited business opportunities...cheap Viagra, sunglasses, etc. Other people seem to think spam means "anything I don't want to read/hear", but I believe everybody has the right to debate any topic....or just ignore things they don't agree with.

    Yeah, there appear to be a handful of intolerant self-righteous screaming me-mes at DIYMA. Sad...

    Thank you for providing a truly open forum.

    Yeah, I think it's funny when people complain about OT subjects, but then throw in their .02 worth.
