I know all us operators had a nice thread made by our lovely Deadl0ck. However I noticed that this is something a lot of our trusted also don't understand and I don't blame them since the ops were doing it and so of course the trusted learn from the ops. This is just from the post Deadl0ck made in the staff section and I would like to show our players and trusted what we consider spam and what we consider just a bit annoying.
Deadl0ck's post
Hello, I noticed that some of you seem to have different idea's then we do, about what is spam. So here's a guideline!
It's spam when it floods out other chat. For Example:
In short, multiple the same or very similar messages (in fairly fast succession) is spam / text flood. Just 1 line of it is general stupidity.
Hope this clears it up some!
-edit-
I am not saying don't warn people for it / don't tell them it makes them look like they have the IQ of a herring high on farts, all I am saying is, it's not spam, so please don't refer to it as such, since it doesn't fall under the spam rule.
I'm pretty sure most if not all servers have a "don't be a moron" rule... ( Well we used to anyway, we might have taken it out cos it was too vague.)

Is not spam. It's annoying as shit but it's not spam. (As long as it's not bigger then 1 line, anyway.)It's spam when it floods out other chat. For Example:
[01:14] <+LavaGod> Deadl0ck: fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
As a very minor spam, or:ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
[01:14] <+LavaGod> Deadl0ck: ffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
[01:14] <+LavaGod> Deadl0ck: ffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
[01:14] <+LavaGod> Deadl0ck: ffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

[01:14] <+LavaGod> Deadl0ck: ffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
