What is considered spam?

[K-NiGhT]

Requests aren't spam. No more further discussion is to take place here. Create a topic in the feedback board if you guys want to continue talking about this, but the next post in this thread better not be anything but someone accepting the request.

Okay, so if requests aren't spam, then what is considered spam? If someone could please provide a consistent definition of what spam actually is according to the site, then maybe we can get this whole requesting thing sorted out. We need to reach some sort of compromise to prevent further incidents in the forums, imo.

Do you seriously want me to show you?

"bulk messages" is a key term in all of the definitions I've seen so far.

I agree.
I think you guys are just being fools and disrespectful!

[Olimar12345]

...but they're not irrelevant or out of place. Just because there are a lot of them doesn't mean they are spam.

I've been accused of spam before (I know crazy right?) and it's not just multiple messages.  It can also be messages in the wrong spot, so before posting make sure
A) that it hasn't been asked/posted before
B) that this is the best possible spot for it
IMO that's probably how to make sure it's not spam.

ninja'd and now Olimar pretty much told what I said in one sentence >.<

Considering how backed up we are on requests, I think a "one request every two weeks" limit would be a good idea.

39 pages. That's a lot of requests, you know?

I totally disagree
The point of this site is piano sheet music and arranging and fufilling peoples requests!! NOT gabbing of in the off-topic crap like you do!

[Olimar12345]

At ease, soldier! No need to get worked up.

[Dude]

way to completely miss the point mlf

Also, "Bad Apple!!" and all of the other touhou songs that I've arranged would like to have a word with you. ;P

Well....I just get so mad at them, because all they do (not all..Im just making a point) is blab aroung on the ''talking'' threads when what they should be doing is arranging and fufilling peopls requests.
