I would just like to share few points which newbie should always remember and to avoid indulging in these things as mentioned below.
1. Avoid burst posting:
I have seen users making continuous posts without any time gap just to complete their weekly Target for bounty campaigns or even signature campaigns, this can get you flagged and there are chances you will be removed from campaign and be in the spammers list thus eradicating your chances of being a part of further campaigns.
This doesn't apply to those who are not in any campaign. A newbies cannot be accepted into signature campaigns to this is ruled out for them. I think the best thing to say here is to avoid spamming as a newbie. And from my observations, spamming happens mostly in mega threads. Simply advise newbies to avoid threads that has past 15 pages. The only exception here is the football threads in the gambling boards and even as at this they should do it cautiously.
