[quote][b][u]What is spamming?[/u][/b]

Well, have you ever seen a comment or post like this before?


Woot99: I think the spamming problem is increasing.
TomLolz: Yes,I think so too.
SpamMaster34: PLAY MY PROJECTS THEIR THE BEST IN DA UNIVARSE!!!!!!!! DO IT OR I WILL GO TO ALL YOUR PROJECTS AND FLAG AS INAPPROPRIATE HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

In case you don't know (remember that some scratchers have never touched a computer before), what SpamMaster34 is doing is - you guessed it! Spamming. Usually, spammers will go to several topics and write random, off topic messages. Alternatively, they may do something similar, called flooding, which is bombarding a particular post with useless messages.[/quote]
[quote][b][u]The 3 types of spamming[/u][/b]

If think what SpamMaster said is the only way of spamming, you're wrong. There are, in fact, 3 major types of spamming:
1) Open Spamming
This is when someone openly demands you to look at his projects, usually doing it with caps and a ton of exclamation mark.
What SpamMaster34 did was open spam.
2) Subtle Spamming
This is when someone asks you to look at his projects, but hides it under another reason.
Example: "Visit my projects to get a free loveit!"
3) Random Spamming
The third, and arguably most annoying type of spamming, is  when someone randomly says something stupid. 
Example: "I like pie. I AM SHOOP DA WHOOP GIMME PIE :DDDDDDDD"[/quote]
[quote][b][u]If you see someone spam...[/u][/b]
If you notice that someone spammed, the best thing to do is to ignore it. If the problem persists, try flagging the spam comment/post. If it gets really really bad, then tell the Scratch Team by clicking on the Contact Us link.[/quote]
