    Default Discuss anything and spam forum

    Can someone please explain the difference to me?
    Discuss anything is a place for posts that don't have any other forum, yet so is the spam forum. Just wondering because I got banned for spamming the spam forum with pointless threads

    Originally, the Discuss Anything forum had a mixture of posts from fashion, pets to food and holidays. Now that they have their own forums it has very little use, other than a more meaningful spam forum.

    1 difference: discuss anything has post counts, spam doesn't

    Discuss anything is used for threads which don't fit other categories, but still have a use of discussion in them, unlike spam which is just anything.

    So why did I get banned for 4days for spamming pointless threads? =]

    Ban reasons are not discussed on the forum so obviously, I cannot go into detail although I'd like to refer you to this thread:

It is also not allowed to create loads of threads in a row, causing threads on ''New Posts'' which have a decent use to it to go to page 2.

    I tend to post their when I'm looking for a serious answer, not a image of a random face.

    Discuss Anything = Spam


    Some threads, none of which are closed at time of posting, guess which is from which forum:

    "think of something quick i can have for dinner"
    "Test..."
    "OMG!"

    Technically threads in discuss anything shouldn't go massively off topic whereas in spam anyone is free to "take over" a thread with nonsense if they really so wish. Although with the wonderful off topic rule stating that as long as it logically follows from a previous post it's ok, that goes out the window pretty much

    why is it worth a 4day ban and not a caution?
