Actually everyone..... SPAM (in the FORUM sense of the word) is used primarily to describe senseless OOC posts whose sole purpose is to increase the post count of the individual. This is much different than what E-mail users interpret as SPAM.
Example: If I was to spam this thread, I would have responded with something like : "Right" or "OK"
Thats it, one word, easy post. Increase my forum post count by one in a matter of a second. Some forum members (maybe not this particular forum) feel that having a huge post count gives them credibility, seniority, and an overall feeling of self-importance. Obviously, people who do this typically lack social skills and a general understanding of real importance.
However, having said all this, there is nothing "SPAM" about this thread. Yes, you have someone advertising for their own interests here. But, since these interests are specific to the nature of these forums, it is completely welcome. Also, many people have made similar posts :ie> Clan War, Clan Recruiting, Come play on _____ server (you fill in the blank). All of these kinds of threads are relative and pertinent to the SFC3 community, and thats what we're all here for.
Stormwalker, you were way off in your accusation that this thread was spam. Also, being that it's posted in the SFC General topics section, you could have simply chose to ignore the message if you deemed it as unwanted solicitation.
I believe that an apology is in order here.
There, now everyone.......GROUP HUG!
