[Q] Is it spam if you...

Postby The Black Forrest » Fri Apr 16, 2021 5:29 pm

If a person repeats the same comments in just about every post count as spam?

A certain user repeats paragraphs and phrases in just about every post?

Thanks!

Not a moderator, but since this is marked [Q], I think I can post.
I know who you are talking about. I doubt the moderators will take action or consider what GMS is doing to be spam, as they haven't in the past. Just foe them if you cannot stand their posts, just as I did.

My take: It could. Or it could not. In GMS's case I interpret it more as his writing style more than an intent to spam, its coherence notwithstanding.

It could be interpreted as spam, but I definitely don't think it's actionable (IK what you're talking about)

I'm not a moderator nor am I trying to minimod, but I agree. Merely having bad opinions and conveying them in a way that is unintentionally annoying is not inherently against the rules. We have a foe function for that reason, as not everyone can get along.

They'd probably rule it as "nonactionable" since the same post is spread out over the topics, and is really not spamming one specific thing. If it was one single topic, then yes, it would most likely be considered spam.

However, I have seen mods delete the type of "spam" you are talking about. It's rare, but does happen.

I'd categorize it more as bait than spam.

It's there to annoy, and to frustrate anyone trying to have a real discussion.

To all of You and the Moderator: I am defending myself on this Post from being banned for good from NS because of them. My Apologies to the Moderators for this long Post and constant edits, and accidental repetitions in this case and because I am always afraid of being banned for good from NS the General and RP Forums which I love because of them and others, just like they do.

I am trying to Post all the details Proving My Points I think the Evidence Is Very Clear. That many Persons Have A Problem with Me and My Pro Trump Posts and Views But Many Persons Will Never Admit It, As the Best Cousin I Have and The Best Cousin There Is Told Me If They Admit It They Loose Their Excuses. I show him everything on NS and I am going to show him this one. I am trying to Post the Facts in the best detailed way possible of what I go through ever day from mostly the same Persons and many Persons. I Am Sick of This. Is this Harassment? Is this Political Harassment.

Posted by The Reformed American Republic on This Thread Proving My Point and I will Capitalize It for Emphasis for all Persons to See, Read and Understand Because I GMS Am Sick of This: Merely Having Bad Opinions and Conveying Them In a Way That Is Unintentionally Annoying Is Not Inherently Against The Rules,

For 4 four years we have tried to teach him, we have tried to educate him, but he does not listen, he is a F Brick Wall to Talk Too. I don't give a F, you are on ignore, I told you to put him on ignore, all this happened before the elections and before the Capitol Riots by the Minority in Numbers of all Right Wingers which I always condemn. Proving my Point that many Persons on NS have a Problem with my Pro Trump Posts and Views, but many Persons Will Never Admit It.

Why does this all I have Posted does not happen on non Trump Related Threads and Posts Proving My Point? I am outnumbered at lest 95 % to 99 % most of the time on these related threads I think this is a Factor.

Discussions: You all repeat the same things on all your posts, you don't like Republican President Trump, The Republicans are no good, The Republicans hate democracy, The Republicans hate honest elections, The Republicans are corrupt. The virus crisis is real I know the virus crisis is real and dangerous, you all repeat the same things on every post, every day. How many ways are there to say the same thing every day like you all do every day?

I Am So Paranoid I Check The Mod Forums Every 5 Minutes Post or No Post. We All Love The General Forum and RP Forums. Many other Persons don't Post or say this about me, whatever I Post does not bother them why not? Whatever any one Posts including them does not bother me? Why does this always happen on Trump Related Threads but it never happens on non Trump Related Threads? Proving My Point?

Proving my Point: All these comments against me by certain Persons happened before the elections and the Capitol Riots I have always condemned:

Why Because I Wont Agree With There Anti Trump Anti Republican Points and Views Proving My Points The Evidence Is Very Clear?

The Evidence Is Very Clear. Who agrees, who disagrees? I GMS Strongly Agree.

How dare I and any Persons do the same to any Persons to Fit My Views and Their Views?

Discussions, we all post our views, discuss but we all still strongly disagree with each other when we strongly disagree with each other, I respect it, I strongly disagree with anti Trump, Anti Republican views, and there is nothing wrong with it. To the Moderator, Is this Harassment? I am Sick of This and I have Right under the circumstances to be Sick of This? From the same Persons what a coincidence, but not from other Persons what a coincidence?

But My Opinions on Republican President Trump and The Republicans and All Issues Are Not Bad Opinions - There Opposite Opinions on All Issues Are Not Bad Opinions - I and We Should Not Be Held To A Different and Higher Standard and Standards. To The Moderator Are These Political Harassment? I GMS who respects their Rights To Strongly Disagree with Me and Any Persons on all Issues.

I GMS Am Sick of This Political Harassment and I Have A Right To Be Sick of This The Evidence Is Very Clear Proving My Point? All Related To Republican President Donald J Trump of The USA, What A Coincidence?

But I Love NS The General Forum and the RPs with over 150 Nations and I have been on NS for over 10 Years with a Perfect Record.

Not even on Cuba,The Castro Brothers and their eternal successors, My Real Pet Issue on NS? Whatever I Post are my Views My Way, Whatever You Guys Post are your views Your Way. You all have a right to Post whatever you want your way and you do so every day. Discussions: You all repeat the same things on all your posts, you don't like Republican President Trump, The Republicans are no good, The Republicans hate democracy, The Republicans hate honest elections, The Republicans are corrupt. The virus crisis is real I know the virus crisis is real and dangerous, you all repeat the same things on every post, every day.

How many ways are there to say the same thing every day like all of you do? You all do the same thing every day and it does not bother me, guys never or hardly ever Post Pro Trump Posts. It does not bother me,

I GMS respect your democratic rights to Post to me and any persons on NS and off NS and Discord any Posts any way you want too, I don't tell any Persons what to Post, what not to Post and how to Post it. Why cant you guys do the same? How dare I tell any Persons what to Post, what not to Post, how to Post it, what sources to Post from, link from and comment from, as it is done to me many times by certain many Persons? How dare any Persons tell any Persons what to Post, what not to Post and how to Post it, what sources to Post from, Link From and Comment From as it is done to me many times by certain many persons. I GMS Am Sick of This? I have a right under the circumstances of being Sick of This? who agrees, who disagrees? I GMS Strongly Agree.

For over 10 Yeas on NS since the old Co UK Forum Days a Perfect Record of no Baiting, No Trolling, No Flaming and No Using Foul Language Against any Persons on NS, with over 150 Nations. I Am Very Proud of It and I wish to Keep My Record Clean, But I Am Not The Only One on NS? As Has been done to me GMS many times. I Am Sick of This GMS?

I Love NS and Discord, The General Forums and RP Forums just like all of you. We should all be NS Friends on NS who can RP together like I can.

I will never place any Persons on ignore for any reasons, even actionable personal and political insults against me, I am very proud of this. But I am not the only person on NS.

Discussions, we all post our views, discuss but we all still strongly disagree with each other when we strongly disagree with each other, I respect it, I strongly disagree with anti Trump, Anti Republican views, and there is nothing wrong with it. To the Moderator, Is this Harassment? I am Sick of This and I have Right under the circumstances to be Sick of This? From the same Persons what a coincidence, but not from other Persons what a coincidence?

When I ask these same Persons and other Persons to condemn leftist violence by the Minority in Numbers who do so, they all refuse to do so.

Thank You.

GMS.

GMS, you know I try and help you get your point across more clearly where I can. Here is how you could have summed up that entire thing more simply: "I do not think sharing my opinions is spamming." It is much clearer and more concise than all of that garble which most people, myself included, barely even skimread through. That's the thing that annoys people, you just post so much stuff and half the time it isn't even related, like you complaining how people think you are annoying because you like Trump. No, people think you are annoying because you post like that.

Thank You Istoreya My Friend. The Reasons I am Posting all these details and I keep changing the Paragraphs around is to make it very clear to the Moderators and all viewers my side of it, the other side of the story and Facts. Thank you for your constructive advice and concerns My Friend.

My Apologies to the Moderators.

GMS, the vast majority of your first post in this thread was irrelevant nonsense. A post that is otherwise okay and part of an on-topic discussion can cross the line into spam if the two sentences of relevant disscussion are followed by multiple paragraphs of copy-pasted content irrelevant to the topic of discussion. That is particularly the case when this pattern is repeated across multiple posts in multiple threads.
