What is spam exactly? What is it? I don't have proof really, but I have seen an odd amount of people disliking my posts and not posting back on the page.. It is very unusual, and my rep went from like, 12, to 8. Anywho, I don't know the exact username or anything, but I need some help understanding forum rules a little more. How are people spamming like this? How do they even DO spam?

did they dislike 5 or more of your posts? if they did, that is a spam.

Well, yes. Not the same person, different usernames all in ONE POST... Weird... And it was :

This is... Advertising another website, my dear Dotty. Follow the rules please, then maybe you will get some likes, no? Sorry my Dotty, but a dislike for me, for this is rule breaking.

And apparently it WASN'T breaking the rules, but I didn't know!! I AM just a rookie, and it was pretty plain to see, its like one person went all ninja on me.

First of all,
spam is is another meaning for "overload"
We consider spamming as like, disliking a ton of the same persons posts at one time, posting more than two times in a row, and posting just too much. Spamming is considered breaking the rules. Try checking out the rules post, it will give you more information.

Spam is quite difficult to explain, but I'll try!

If you make a discussion, it is spammed if somebody posts lots of comments in a row for no reason, and just fills up the page. Spamming dislikes is when people are constantly disliking. So, to conclude it, spamming is when somebody constantly does something to fill up the page.

I hope this helps! Ask me if you need anymore help :) Gosh, that was really hard to explain...
