Expected, but it made me laugh

This is an ideal example for spamming.

Another example is this post I found in the Halo 2 Anniversary thread this morning.

Or rather - spamception. My post further exemplifies what constitutes to spam through its planned effect. You see, the initial added nothing to the discussion of this topic directly making it a spam post. Keyword: directly. Furthermore, what it has shown is that it's not so much a spam post in and of itself that is the problem, but the ripple it creates. The 3 following posts in this thread continued down the stream of pointless posts which had nothing to do with the topic at hand following my initial spam post.

This, my friends, is an ideal example of spam.

I suppose you're referring to the "Huh?" part of your post? That doesn't really get come across as you asking me how it's related to the OP simply through text. The connection in your head between what is written and what is meant cannot simply be transferred through text so non-descriptive. Complete the thought or it just appears as spam.

And as I've just explained, my entire intent was to make an example of what many people are considering spam as well as also creating an example of why people have a problem with it. In a way, my spam post was more on topic than a lot of other posts in this thread. As a result of my spam post, more people posted seemingly pointless posts in order to ask for further explanation or to point out something mundane. This is what happens when you don't "Complete the thought". Now that I'm repeating my explanation I feel like this post is spam as well. I don't feel any further explanation will be warranted here so please direct further questions to my message box or wall.

Use my description above to figure out what posts I considered spam and which not. My definition of spam will remain my definition and I mean not to enforce it on others as it is simply that; my definition. I will ignore posts reflecting my definition of spam as best I can and try not to make posts myself that comply to this definition. That's all I can and will do.

P.S. I intentionally speak in rhetoric. Those who get it get a kick; those who don't get a different kind.

Is it not the point of forums to ask questions and discuss things? Where should the line be drawn?
