    The community rules say “Do not spam.”

    Spam is repeatedly posting unwanted or irrelevant content. Posting on-topic movie news articles from legitimate news outlets isn’t automatically spam just because you don’t like the volume or disagree with the editorial choices.

    If you think a specific post violates the rules, explain how. Otherwise, “I don’t like that someone posts more than I do” isn’t the same thing as spam.

      Personally, when I’m scrolling all and I see 10 posts from you in a row that are all just some random shit you didn’t even read, that’s unwanted.

        That’s a preference, not a definition.

        You don’t know whether I read the articles, and you’ve offered no evidence that I don’t. You’re just repeating it as if saying it enough makes it true.

        As for “unwanted” - you finding something unwanted doesn’t make it spam. The community is for movie news, and the posts are on-topic movie news from legitimate sources. If the moderators decide my posting frequency violates the rules, that’s their call.

        But “I personally don’t like seeing your posts” is an argument for using your filters or blocking my account, not for redefining the word “spam.”

        just block me
