Definitions of Spam/spoilers
During my time on this site, I have seen many differences in opinions. But, in particular, I have seen a lot of disagreements on what is spam, what is a spoiler, what it flaming, and what isn't. Therefore, I propose this topic to arrive on a clear and concise definitions of these three terms. I will begin by proposing three definitions (that apply to this site) and anyone can add/subtract or criticise from there.
Spam: Replies with little or no relation to the topic that do not answer or propose any relevent questions or ones that present opinions that were not asked of or ones that point out small irrelevant flaws involving grammar or spelling
Spoiler: Information that alters how a person plays their game that is not directly hinted as would be in the thread by the topic name. A spoiler must 1) not be general information easily accesed on this site 2) Not be necessary information in reguards to the topic and 3) Be informations that causes a player to alter their gameplay to achieve an unseen goal
Flaming: Attacking another player's opiniuons or statements with the intent of discrediting/disheartening him WITHOUT the intent of correcting mis-information presented by the player in question

), I have since concluded that this will not be possible. This is due to the myriad definitions as well as the fact that some people enjoy posting spam. Therefore, I would propose that everyone should simply post on topic, and express an opinion . That way, posts would be relevant and will at least provide some insight into the issue in question.
