Because I got a message about spam and I still dont get it.

A lot of things can be spam. Usually it's posting contentless/pointless posts or threads in rapid succession and/or large amounts. It's against our rules because it clogs up threads and forums, and prevents people from finding meaningful content. Basically, it's a nuisance for everyone involved.


If you read our rules, it should have a more elaborate definition.


It's number 6.

That's exactly what I was looking for. I was just a little confused because I was spamming myself so that I can meet the 10 post quota.

Yeah, even if you're spamming on your own profile or in your own thread, it's still considered against the rules.


But since you already have more than ten posts, you don't need to worry about getting them anymore. ^^

I've done it like, twice over the years. One was as a joke that I didnt know what tech was and I thought my status bar was a search bar, and just recently as a joke and its punchlines.

i think you're fine. with profiles it's more so that the sidebar isn't full of just one person's posts, and yours aren't recent.
