With so many idiotic topics here, what is the difference between Spam and Not Spam?

I'm looking for an honest answer, here.

Also, why can some people like WilliWowza get away with topics that are obviously spammy shit?

And what about the bullshit "I HAD SEX WITH [input] IN [input] LIKE [input]" topics?

Most annoying is the aggravating and irrelevant responses to decent original posts, like this.

Can any serious user or mod clear this up?

It all depends on the moderator who is online. If you're going to make a thread with a funny quote and a picture of an anime character or a cat with the words "LOL, CHILI BEANS" strewn across it in white letters, you have a chance of not being banned.

All in all, if you post FHSDGHSGH all the time and don't contribute to topics, you'll get banned.

Spam is useless posting which contributes nothing to the conversation or, there was no discussion to begin with.

Users like WilliWowZa can get away with it since they are original.

Coming from the guy who submits nothing but spam videos? Come on now, you should know the difference by now. The spammy topics are by none other than obvious alts with 3 posts saying "hey i'm new...hi everyone!" and then the topics that are just pure shit. Pick your battles on what to post in. Sometimes you have to take the risk of posting in a topic that MIGHT be locked.

Look at the mods that are on at the time. You should know by now how mods do their job and specifically who choses what to lock. If you think it will get locked, it most likely will.

Nothing but spam videos?

After all the fucking work I put into designing + filming + editing + importing into the Flash authoring environment + Frame by Frame animating the blue censor in Freezepop's JEM!, it's only to be known as a SPAM VIDEO?

Yeah, I'm sure you put a lot of work in too. What bullshit.

Some spam topics are complete shit, that aren't funny, original, or intelligent, while others are somewhat interesting and humorous. I'm pretty lenient with spam topics, as in I don't ban many people for posting in them or making them, but I do delete ones that I feel are a total waste of space. However, sometimes they are worth a cheap laugh, and in that regard they're fine in my book.

Also, why can some people like WilliWowza get away with topics that are obviously spammy shit?

If you look through his post history it's not like the guy just spams bullshit all day. He has plenty of long, thought out posts. Plus, he's actually banned right now, so it's not as if he has immunity.

And what about the bullshit "I HAD SEX WITH [input] IN [input] LIKE [input]" topics?

This is an example of a spammy, yet humorous topic. I see no reason to lock it, people are posting genuinely funny remarks. Why put an end to something that is entertaining?

Most annoying is the aggravating and irrelevant responses to decent original posts, like this.

It doesn't matter how serious you try to be in the General forums, there will be a few people who post to try to make light of the subject. If you want to be serious post in the Politics forums. It's not like you can't have a good discussion in the General forums, though.

Lol, I IZ HERE TO ANSWUR!And your post is conviniently been put into lines for me to type!cool.

With so many idiotic topics here, what is the difference between Spam and Not Spam?

Umm, im pretty sure thats clear, you might want to stop submitting spam yourself before asking that though. It would seem abnormal for a spammer to question about spamming.

I'm looking for an honest answer, here.

done.

Also, why can some people like WilliWowza get away with topics that are obviously spammy shit?

Forum regulars, such as WilliWowza, somehow have people appreciate their spam, but their type of spam is different, first of all, its original and has something to laugh about, and secondly, it isnt that much of spam, its more like a spammy joke, just that its worth the site bandwith.

And what about the bullshit "I HAD SEX WITH [input] IN [input] LIKE [input]" topics?

Never really seen those topics, well I have seen some. Well, most are from newer users who haven't had much humor tastes, ect...

Most annoying is the aggravating and irrelevant responses to decent original posts, like this.

Umm, saying that would definately get someone to post something irrevalent(that is if they dont fear the mighty banstick) , but usually, I dont care if its funny, if its not funny, then yes it is annoying.

Can any serious user or mod clear this up?

Cleared by a serious user. Also I might be captain obvious at this time. Because really, all I did was state the obvious if you didnt see what i did there (C WUT I DID THAR?). But yeah, I think what I posted there was true.

Zerok made a post, but its not the only one on the bbs. Maybe I'll elaborate a little bit. Most of your examples of threads you thought would be spam (about sex) often get locked or deleted when they get out of control. It depends on the mod and the thread. Everything is taken on a case by case basis.

Don't shit yourself over my post, but I'm stating an opinion that a majority of Newgrounds would agree with me on, and that is that 2 out of 3 of your flashes are pure spam. I wasn't making fun of you or mocking you, but just pointing out that you should know spam based on what you've created.

I'm not going to be offended by anything you say, because I've read some of your post history and I realize that you have a tendency to instigate fights with users on the BBS when they critisize your "flash" making abilities. I'll just say now though, if you actually create a good flash showing a little talent, people will stop giving you such a hard time.

More like hypocrite, I know you like to feed off the stupidity that is most of the people who bother you about your videos. I say videos and not flash since its pretty much a youtube video on newgrounds. As much fun as I'm sure it is for you, it is a spam video no different from Spam flashes that have always been on newgrounds.
I'm getting tired of seeing you acting oblivious to the negative attention it's getting. I thought it was funny the first time, but now it's just lame.

You know it's not going to get a highscore so you get your party.org friends to massvote them so it gets by with a low score, then let the idiots on the portal take over and egg them on by making topics in the BBS.

I have not submitted flash but I have worked on it before, so I know what you did to the videos. You know its not meant to be for entertainment and just spam.

You're not fooling everyone, so stop with this act.

The difference is that while they may appear to be spam, they must have some sort of underlying quality that makes them discussion worthy.

Also, mods expect people with higher post counts to be able to make a decent topic, as opposed to someone no one recognizes.
