there is no definitive list of what constitutes spamming on the boards. because of this, our mods and admins are permitted to use their discretion in matters of deleting/banning as pertains to spam.

since you asked though, here are some examples:

making threads to advertise your own services/website/blog, etc
making a "repeat" thread after the first one (of the same nature) has been deleted
making a pointless/silly thread about an artist subject when the forum already has threads about the same subject
creating a large number/too many threads within a certain time period
IPOD tracklisting threads (these will be deleted automatically, but banning could be in order if it is about a person who died, or is in extremely poor taste)
