    A completely off topic post, generally to raise post count.

    The term SPAM is hard to define, but in short, is double posting (or more) usually completely random gibberish that is meant either to bump the thread to the top of the list, OR for no reason at all other than to attract attention.

    that is spamming at it's worst but spamming can also be short sentences that don't add anything to the thread eg.
    "looks nice will dl"
    this is gennerally a bad thing and is frowwned upon by the wider community

    Your post may have been considered spam had it not been a simple legitimate question!
