Adding to the Spam definitions

Can we add to the definitions of spam? This is something that really irritates me; people who respond to a new picture or piece of information by just saying "great find" or "congratulations on your finding skills". No commentary, no judgement, no discussion on how it fits into the Oddworld mythos. Just two words: great and find. This is one example http://www.oddworldforums.net/showpo...2&postcount=11 but the habit seems to have been growing in the last few weeks.

This may seem like a silly thing to get worked up about but it clogs up threads and reeks of people trying to notch up their post count. Most people at least try to bring something new to the discussion with each post. In addition, once one person does this, many others copy them until you have a number of consecutive posts that say nothing.

Unless we do something this is only going to grow.
