Policy on "spam" in General/GC

The purpose of this announcement is to make it clear how the rules are interpreted as they pertain to "spam" or "off-topic" posts.

The purpose of the forums is to build a community of people who interact with one another, and that involves sometimes making spam posts which are just meant to be fun and create an atmosphere here that everyone can enjoy. Spam or off-topic posts can be made in a thread as long as the original topic of the thread remains, and it is returned to in a reasonable amount of posts. Every post made does not have to be exactly on topic, feel free to stray a little bit and just chat it up. The freedom to come here and have fun, and not worry about if your post is okay and on topic or not is one that is important.

If a Mod posts and requests that the spam/off-topic posts stop though, the leniency no longer applies. At that point you should be more careful about being on topic.

If you have a problem with the way a thread is moderated then you can PM me, or post in Forum & Mod Feedback and talk to the Mods. Another way to help is to report posts you believe are spam or off-topic and should be removed. Every report made is given the same attention and thought from any Mod who handles it, and they are a great help; instead of posting in a topic that something should be Moderated try just making a Report instead. It will probably be handled much more expediently then.

tl;dr
The Mods are fairly lenient on spam, it makes the forums a much more fun and friendlier place. Reports are also helpful.
