Spamming:
The creation of topics for no apparent reason, verging on insanity, or topics that are in the wrong forum. For instance: Typing "Metroid Prime 2: Echoes PWNS!" in a Halo-based forum.

Flaming:
Posting simply to vent your anger, either directed at a single person, the world, god, or Shishka. For instance: "Halo 2 suXor dawg! i had want to play mario than play onw minut of halO, dawg!"

Bumping:
Posting a topic that you have already posted. NOT the same as posting a topic that somebody else already posted. For instance: One day, Jimmy posts: I like cheese. The next day, Jimmy posts: I like queso.

Do not do any of these.

Personally, I think this thread is a waste of time. Rule-breakers don't actually read the rules, so there's nothing that they don't understand, because there's nothing they've seen in the first place. What you say is thoroughly correct and, indeed, helpful, but it's wasted on the stupid, spamming masses.

This is the OffTopic forum,If it has a point it should be relevant. I do agree that posting a thread titled "AMCKFMLKDDC" is spamming.

This is really pointless. If people would read the rules, then there would be no need for this.
