What is spam and how does it negatively affect the bitcointalk forum

[De Mukerere]

I have seen how issues on SPAM has been handled by community members. However, most people, especially newbies do not fully understand the concept of spam and spamming, as a result, so many have fallen victims of banned account. Since this platform is all about promoting the adoption of Bitcoin and indeed other cryptocurrencies let us clearly define this issue that has left a good number of folks with an ugly experience.
Contributions on this topic will help reduce discouragement among newbies as well as reduce pressure on the moderators and in the long run help in achieving the aim of this forum.
I implore anyone who has valid information that will help educate community members not to ignore this request.

I hope it explains the definition of spam. The easiest way is to visit google.com and type spam on the search box. Then press enter. Google will not disappoint you.

Good luck.

They may get temporary ban for spamming but not a permanent one. A permanent one happens when someone do plagiarism.

Spam clogs the boards, and makes it difficult for merit awarders to find posts to merit. This creates desperation in the spammers, and they seem to increase their spamming in an attempt to scratch a merit or two. They don't seem to realise that if you render land infertile, then spreading your seed won't result in a crop.
