Well first off they think they can get their post counts higher and the higher they are they seem to think that they will be better than everyone else. Which is rather retarded because all they are doing is makeing things worse.

Now now PA, what most people seem to not understand is that half the tiem spammers are insignificant pricks who don't have the brain to plot things such as "higher post counts".

The reason is because they don't know any better, and since, as I stated above, they have no brain, they don't learn not to spam resulting in consequences that are bad for them but nice for the exacu- er, I mean mod/admin....

"Why do you have to quote others when you can quote yourself?" (Quote by me)
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God.
You see things, and you say 'why'. But i dream things that never were and i say 'why not'.

It wasn't until you just said that. Oh crap, this post is meaningless... um...

Me and my friends saw these ducks and one had a white head and he acted like the Godfather and his Mafia came and checked us out because I chased two away. But it was alright because they realised we weren't too bad.

Yep, our town sure has nothing to do.

Now sorry to single you out happyguy936 but people like you who think that it's good to give your opinion on what you believe what counts as spamming or not is the problem. If everyone just kept their mouths shut (so to speak) on who they think is spamming or not then it would highly eliminate the spamming thing. Now this is a sensible thread asking about spamming and you decide to come along and ruin this thread because in your opinion you believe this is spamming. Well I don't. And this is my point. Most people post something for a reason. Most threads here, unless they are testing something or pressed "New Topic" instead of "Post Reply", have a meaning. Weather it be to get a laugh or to have a serious discussion. But the people who come along here to boost their post counts by saying something is spam is worst than the spammer they are accusing.

Well, Tori, maybe they spam coz they do not know any other way to express themselves.

Or then they want to boost their post counts, just like PA said, only because they might feel uncomfortable when being "not as good" as the others with higher post counts. Which is not true.
They spam because they have an attitude problem, low self-confidence or then just an overwhelmingly big amout of plain stupidity.

So there.

Why do spammers spam, one of the greater questions in life. Such as, why do boy bands sound like girls? If a locker slams in a hallway and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Why do kids eat Apple Jacks if they don't taste like apples? Well, since I'm an ex-spammer, and because I watch way too many comercials, I will just say this. Because they do! Either...
1.They're just psyco nerds like me who see flying papayas
2.They try and act tough and/or stupid
3.They're bored
4.They're lonely and think if they post soemthing odd, they will get many resposnes than a regular post, therefore meeting new people, and trying to make friends with them.....which doesn't work

Well, thats 4 good reasons why spammers spam. Good spamy luck on you spamy journey through the spamy world of spam land.

You have been to Spam land? Ah I baleave I was there when I was a we little lad once upon a time in long off place where up is down and down is up and the sun shines forever and ever! Its a happy place where candy canes and Lolly pops grow filled with love and a Lucy in The sky with Dymonds and everyone sings the song "Sargent Pepper and his lonely hearts Club Band!" Oh wait a minute thats Pepperland oops! Muhahahahahahahahah!

Anyway you have a point there spammers spam because they have nothing else to do and they just write anything. It could be a number of things why people spam. I am Mr Spam I am! Ok I think I am done spamming!

And Stanley, your post had little, if any, relevance to the topic. His was a jokey reply of which is tolerable. Just feel lucky that others did not join on a crusade to point out that he spammed, like you did

Dammit he done it again. Does anyone else find that big gap he leaves bloody annoying.
And it's best not to call people dumb if you can't spell it.

Who cares, a little spam never hurt anybody. I don't think spam is such a big problem around here, I just ignore it. Spammers spam because its all they know and that's the way its always been... Yada, yada, yada... The end.
