Let's talk about spam, and flooding.
Contrary to what the rest of the internet has told you, here at Southperry the act of posting messages repeatedly is not spamming; it's flooding.
Let's go on ahead and quote the rules here.
And! Don't let that "unreasonably large volume" part fool you. Even something that seems insignificant, like copy-pasting a sentence five times in a row within a single post is is enough to get you into trouble.
And don't think you are safe in Shenanigans. Don't be fooled by the tagline "Light hearted fun. All rules but spam enforced." Because, even though our fun is light-hearted, we take our fun quite seriously. There's a reason why I pointed out that spamming and flooding are treated as entirely different things here in Southperry. While it may be true that spam may be tolerated in Shenanigans, flooding is not tolerated in any form.

Quote:Definition: "The act of posting the same thing over and over and over again consecutively, or any other unreasonably large volume of content with little to no actual value. This includes both text and images. Images of excessive size (more than 1mb cumulatively in a single post) also count as a 'large volume'."This isn't just restricted to post flooding, where several consecutive posts are needlessly made. This also can apply to a single post.
