1. No Spam
Posts that are irrelevant to or inappropriate for the topic of discussion are considered spam, including off-topic posts/threads, posts with no substantive content, posts that simply restate things that have already been said, and posts that include questions that have already been answered. Do not attempt to bypass the minimum characters per post restriction (also known as "10char").
Examples of specific content that is disallowed and considered "spam" include:
"I'm new!" posts/threads (except in Smashboards Information Center) and "I'm leaving!" threads.
Thread titles with excessive characters/punctuation, including multiple exclamation points.
Threads that duplicate other, recent threads (within 6 months). Before posting a new thread, use the search function to see if a similar thread already exists.
Threads about individual members.
Threads about members' ages or genders.
Re-posting a post or thread that has recently been closed or deleted, or asking why a post or thread was closed or deleted. These questions should be directed to the room moderators via private message.
Re-posting a post/thread in multiple threads/forums may be considered spam if there isn't a specific need for doing so. Please consult a staff member before making a mass copied post or thread.
Posts such as "this thread is going to get closed" or "this thread is in the wrong room".
Multiple posts in a row. If you wish to add/modify content you have already posted, use the "edit" function.
Posts that are meant to "bump" threads to the top of the thread listing, especially particularly old or particularly new threads.
Do not reply to spam. Instead, bring it to a moderator's attention by using the Report Post function.
