What constitutes Spam? Tibb definition.
 
I know what Spam is, specifically.

However I.wanted to ask if a forum member repeatedly posting thread after thread on the same subject with various titles, saying the same stuff ad nauseum, counts as Spamming?

It feels like a certain opinion is being rammed down the forums throat at the moment, there's a dozen or so threads to illustrate this. Incidentally, I agree with the posters original opinion I must say, but its been done to death now and people are getting peed off.

I'm not sure, but could be! :suspect:

Yeah I would take that to be spam I mentioned it last night in the BB section, also forum members constantly posting off topic non constructive posts in a thread I would also say was spam too.

I think the threads should be merged together. They're all about Connor in some way. :suspect:

New rule: 1 week ban for anyone that starts a new topic on anything to do with Conor bullying Deana

Yeah in some way, there are different opinions on different things in some of them so I'm not going to merge all of them together.

We will keep an eye on the spam though.

I don't like those threads. Too many arguments in them. :(

The best thing would be to stay out of those threads then if you don't enjoy heated debates.

Also I had a look and it seems to have calmed down in there I can only see 3 threads about Conor/Deanagate on the first page.

Niamh. 28-06-2012 11:28 AM

And just to add, it has been the biggest "scandal" Big Brothers had so far so alot of threads about it should be expected really.

I like a debate, but a few posters are resorting to name calling and personal insults. It's just not very nice. I'm gong to ignore them from now on. :)

Agreed. Better ignore them. There are plenty of nice people in the forum. :)

I would say that WATERHOG's daily threads with his poems in are spam.

Patrick 28-06-2012 11:35 AM

Something Deana wouldn't eat.

...I hardly think Conor joking about punching Deana - is a bigger scandal than the 2007 Race Row, or even 2008's Spit Gate TBH :laugh: but okay.

oh yes, definitely, and it got the forum buzzing which was excellent. Just felt it had got a bit out of hand and was worth mentioning. :)

or freezer poop!

Jeez I was talking about this years big brother, since we're discussing the BB13 section being spammed :laugh:

fruit_cake 28-06-2012 12:58 PM

if people want to talk about Conor and Deana let them get on with it, it must not be forgotten that 'this is big brother.com', and it's only purpose is to discuss Big Brother. Everything else is a side show imo

InOne 28-06-2012 01:26 PM

fruity has spoken :pipe:
