expressing oneself doesn't really mean writing some bunch of words to convince the reader, there are few words which you could just post that carry heavy meaning at same times summarized all you wanted to say.
When they said of spamming, it doesn't mean writing a very short words that results to spamming, you may write a very long and lengthy words but doesn't carry meaning would still results to spamming.
I am well aware that there are several members here that has very deep choice of words or their vocabularies, and it is not fair if we consider and judge them as bots.
Usually applying those words without the reader comprehending what the writer is saying can like term to be spam in my own point of view, because we are meant to keep here clean with a plain English where it could be easily understand by the readers, and not just using all manner of words just for self expression.
I've long been calling for theymos to put a welcome message with some of the forum rules and links for further reading etc when people sign up and now I hope that spurs him on to do that or something similar.
This is good idea sir, maybe to reduce the stress and also help in keeping this forum clean from people that are too lazy to write and creates their personal post, and contributes to the progress of this wonderful platform.
