I have posted across 6 forums regarding my threads"looking for thai friends to discuss thai pop songs".As u can see,i am basically looking for like-minded friends who share my interest and so we can both enjoy this hobby.I think this topic is very general and hence i did not restrict it to specific forums.I believe the aim of this forum is promote interaction amongst members.hence,i would think that although i posted across 6 forums,the aim is merely to find like-minded members who can be found in all forums.If this is regarding specific topics like auto or cooking ,then i understand the need to limit to specific forums.So,i think for members to gain benefits from this forum,my case should not be considered spamming.anyway,thanks for helping me to delete.
And does being a student or not matter, when it comes to choosing which forums to post?If i did cross the line accidentally,then please advise accordingly,i think it does not look good on moderators to make comments like"For somebody who claims to be a student I find your statement almost unbelievable".Does it mean that someone who is poor with language can spam?and that in their case it would be believable?Please be objective when you moderate and not be subjective.

Oh boy, a newbie with a bruised ego.......
Generally, people when entering a new premises, will attempt to find out forum protocol. Additionally, it would seem that, just like most posters, you visited a number of forums here. Therefore, one could just about assume that most posters frequent multiple forums (even you could have noticed the same names across multiple threads). Therefore posting in one thread more than likely will get the same amount of eyeballs to your query. Nobody likes to see the same post over and over again just like nobody likes seeing the same advertisement over and over in a TV show. (also entertainment like these forums). It's called spam. Do you like it in your email in-box?
So with that in mind, maybe you should have read the FAQ's and other stickies in the forum threads before going off half cocked and then whinging because you were called out on it.
As you can see, even our regulars do not appreciate spamming. Jeppo is not a moderator but a valued regular. We have a number of regulars on here that often send us PM's when somebody starts spamming or placing advertising or slagging other posters or otherwise trying to play havoc.
Do not get me wrong, I am not placing you in that category of poster, but letting you know a bit about the protocol here. Forewarned is forearmed.
Oh, I think what Plavt meant was the Forum topics are very clear with the content to be posted in them and your English appeared sufficiently good enough that you should have been able to read and comprehend what you were reading to know that a post about music shouldn't be placed in a forum about business or career's & jobs unless one was deliberately spamming.
Understand now?
but sometimes
