I'm surprised no one has answered my question. And that was one of my several pretty good posts!

The length of a post doesn't determine if its spam. It's the substance of the post. Its okay to make spam posts sometimes. The problem is when you overwhelm the community with spam.

Here's a re-skinned example of spam from today: Entering a thread that titled "can you guys help me with XYZ?" and posting "I dont know or care anything about XYZ, but I hear its cool" or something like that.

I wasn't talking about the length of the post Jay.

I feel like the last one could go either way. If you took out the bolded I feel like it would be a perfectly fine post. It should spur some discussion.

I'd have to strongly disagree.

Scenario: You're in a mall crowded with people. Someone falls over and isn't breathing. Person yells out "Does anyone know CPR here?" Do you respond "No, but if I did, I'd be saving that guys life" or do you let someone who knows CPR help them without saying anything?

I know that's an extreme example, but it is somewhat similar. Essentially, it's unnecessary and wasting their time.
