sometimes ppl got lazy and not searching for a topic before they start the same thread, it's not spam

spam is usually something that you promote, like a product or a server or a website.

that's why there is no links allowed in the threads or you can't promote goods or services in the forum, if they are free, like some1 was just asking for free email, then you can post the links.

Multi-posting is one of the worst forms of spam, You don't have to post like 40 post in a row in this thread.

This is pure spam, and it's not allowed:

BOT i think y ment Excessive Multi-Posting there buddy

(EMP) has the same meaning as the term "spam"
usually carries, but it is more accurate and self-explanatory. EMP means,
essentially, "too many separate copies of a substantively identical
article."

"Substantively identical" means that the material in each article is
sufficiently similar to construe the same message. The signature is
included in the determination. These are examples of substantively
identical articles:

- byte-for-byte identical messages
- otherwise identical postings minimally customized for
each group it appears in.
- advertising the same service.
- articles that consist solely of the same signature
- articles which consist of inclusions of other user's
postings, but are otherwise identical.

well kno wi know what EMP is and this i skinda diffrent from spaming so i guess im a EMP whore
