I thought this topic was about spamming on the forums...not in game.

Yes, Booth, you are probably right. If I could split the topic I would now...but...impossible.
It happens that a character is sitting in town, but the human being behind it is afk. The same thing can happen in a GM's case. I have missed several spammers because I was afk. That is only selectiveness by accident. You can also browse through all the logs and the court house forum to see if you find some cases of people who were banned for spamming apart from you.

If we're speaking in-game spam... Game rule #3: No spamming/flooding (including trade spam).
However, someone suggested a Sales or Trade tab, similar to the Party tab in the chat box where offers and requests could be placed.
That would be a possible option. It has been discussed before, but it seems that technological solutions to in-game problems are the way to beat frequent offences (such as drops in town, drop protection, etc.)

#3.1 No spamming in the trade tab.

Rule #3 also applies to forums. So there is kinda nothing to discuss about. They rules to obey so so basic that you may consider them another 6 commandments.

and btw, you said that Booth's candy topic is spam, which it isn't... it's in offtopic and it is for a purpose, which is to investigate the people's fav candy
if you would answer in that topic with, for example, "my dog is green", that would be spam
just my 2 cents
I only said it was spam because he says my off topic things are spam that are less spammy than his, therefore he is a hypocrite

No, that is not spam but it is irritating which is a form of spam. If I was selling Iron Ore and you kept saying it over and over even if there was a minute between I would never sell you ore.

AHEM! You only joined on the 4th January 2009 and you are a warrior. Thank you, spam. In other words, meway STFU!!!

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, sorry, I voted no cause I thought you meant in-game. I think that in-game spamming should be against the rules because it makes people lag. But in the forum-with no disrespect-I don't see why spam is bad. I do think though, that if everyone spammed, No-one would bother going on the forum because there are no serious statements, also, if you do a post, you would be pretty P'd off if every reply you got was spam. So to be honest with you, I really don't know whether or not I think spam should be ignored.
