Is it considered spam when someone says this?

If you're not smart enough to hover over the link it's your own problem.

“Oh, it’s a little bit of everything, it’s the mountains, it’s the fog, it’s the news at six o’clock, it’s the death of my first dog, it’s the angels up above me, it’s the song that they don’t sing, It’s a little bit of everything.”
- Dawes, A little bit of everything

I do believe it would be considered spam.

However, if you were to say something along the lines of "Hey, I'm not clicking that because the domain is <insert some obscene thing here>.com" then it would be perfectly fine.

On second thought, it wouldn't be fine because you should have just reported the post with the link and moved on.

So to clarify, go back to my first sentence of this post.

It's not spam, it's just a reply sprinkled in idiocy and baked at 350 extreme dolt degrees.

Several things I've seen posted can be considered spam, but usually if it's not too disruptive Mods usually let it be, probably because they frequently post off-topic and mildly spam themselves.

Stop banning me please.

If a thread looks like spam, don't post on it.

I am trying to get better at this one

OP, I wish you had a link so that I could say it.

Maybe there should be some sort of link verification system in place?

Wake me, when you need me.

I'd consider it spam.

No it isn't...?

I mean, it's just a little warning for some of the other users who just blindly click on links. Sure, they should be careful and it isn't necessarily our problem if they click on it, but we should still look out for other, newer, users who don't know any better.

Besides. Most times it doesn't disrupt the thread anyway (That I've seen)

Eh, it's not very productive to the thread if it is a safe link, but I wouldn't go as far as to ban for it.
