When spamming you can:

Only write a couple of lines, and use TXT SPK

Say consoles are failures or successes without any evidence to back your claim

Blatently copy another spam topic, just change the words around
(e.g. Why the X-Bow will fail, Will the X-Box fail? Why?)



When writing a decent post you can :

Hope to win a GAD

Potentially change the way people think (maybe even the way you think)

Say consoles are failures or successes using blatently bias and highly dubious sources, unsubstantiated rumors, and personal opinions to back your claim

Watch with pride as your topic quickly slides, unread and unreplied, to the bottom of the screen as Spam posts fill the forum

I don't think I've spammed this forum yet. I did do it to the Planetarion forums in a sense, continually posting jokes, a new thread for each etc. But those forums are totally spam based anyway.

I generally behave here, and post only when i either feel moved to, or have something to ask.

I prefer to write decent topics.

Sometimes I'll even spend a good length of time trying to check up on a reference I want to stick in there, and it'l slide away, and no one will notice.

So then I pop it, and maybe one person replies, so I wait until it's sliding away again, then reply to that one person, but again it's sliding, so I just leave it.
