From my reading of the forums over the years, WGT basically defines spam as repetitious posting of the same message. In other words, it is spam if the same message or post is identical and is posted in the following ways:
- The same message is posted multiple times (in a row) within the same thread in response to a post.
- The same message is posted multiple times to different folders.
For example, on the first one, if I were to post the same response a number of times in a row (i.e., one post immediately after another, multiple times) within a thread, that would (most likely) be viewed as spam. By the way, this is not the inadvertent "double post" that happens. This is someone posting the same message a number of times in a row (think 5 or more times in a row).
For the second one, if someone were to simultaneously start the same thread in multiple forums (for example, WGT Mobile, Courses, and Bug Log) that would (most likely) be viewed as spam by WGT.
By the way, a player just responding to various threads and genuinely interacting with others is not spam. I mention this because I was once accused of "spamming the boards" simply because I was very active in the forums.
Additionally, periodically raising unresolved issues or questions about the game is not spam, even if the issue they raise is the same each time. Again, for example, if someone raises the same unresolved issue or question about the game every couple of weeks or so, that's not spam.
While other players may find it annoying to see the topic revisited, it was their choice to read the post. They could have simply ignored the post and moved on. Choosing not to engage is also a choice. Many times, it's the smart choice.
That's my take on spam and WGT.
