Spam

[no waiii]

This forum has loads of spam that's not in the spam section like people posting "nice find" this dose not look like spam but it is people just post this just to get there post count up i can understand people posting it if something new is found like furni but people are posting it after news like funky friday how is it a "nice find" it is news that anyone can see and there is no need to post "nice find" or "i will check it out" and then people staring conversations in thread and going completely of topic.

Well everbody inteprets Spam differently and to me spam is just that - it would have no relevance to the topic at all. Also being on-topic means that it has some constructive relevance to the thread as a whole and how it develops as opposed to being strictly in line with the original post.
If somebody has posted a good bit of news I can see nothing wrong with 'nice find'. It is a bit cynical to suggest that this is purely to boost post count as members have been doing it for years.

Can you link some examples of threads that concern you?

You've gotta remember what it stands for, I wouldn't count "Nice find" as SPAM, but I do agree with you about people going off-topic in some threads.

Well I am sure we can make up our own minds about it in a fair and just way.
It is difficult to assess a situation without specific examples.

I see what you're saying. Yes, people do post specifically to get their post count up. As long as they're making a contribution to the thread then I don't see a problem. If users want a high post count then let them go for it. I don't think it's so bad to the point where it's annoying.
