    It spams up the new profile posts sidebar. It's incredibly obnoxious. If they want to post song lyrics they should do so in the comments on their profile post. At least it doesn't fill up the sidebar that way.

    I totally didn't just do this >.>
    There's no rule against posting on a bunch of threads in a short timeframe so I don't see why it should be illegal on profiles just because it spams up the sidebar, use this page to look at profile posts, -1

    There is a rule against spamming though (and what you did should fall under that, but the rules on the forum are vague at best)

    I agree with a rule about spamming the same crap over and over again like how I did, but I think it's fine to write a bunch of messages on various people's profiles as long as the messages are unique imo.

    This.

    +1 if it is for a bunch of the same/random Cr.. *checks forum rules* poop.

    -1 if it is just sheer speed posting.

    I agree with this suggestion. It is my hope that these players finding this funny will stop this obnoxious behavior on their own rather than requiring bans though.

    See: @ModEdit's profile
    Pretty much sums up my opinion regarding this suggestion. Forum spam should be enforceable, but what I did was not spam.

    +1 It does spam people's profile. And I'm not gonna be looking at the new profile posts and scrolling down through the spam to see what I want;

    You basically posted the same 2 songs lyrics a bunch of times, it was spam, just like mine.

    It's not my fault that choruses are repetitive near the ends of songs.

    You chose to spam it on the forums.

    Anyway, I do not regard posting lyrics as legitimate posting. It's spam to me.
    If you want to post lyrics do it in the comments on the profile post.

    -1, as long as the person whose profile they are posting on has no problem with it people should be allowed to post repetitive things, whether they're song lyrics or anything else.

    *Edit*
    It spams up the sidebar? Like really. Who cares.

    Let's not.

    This wouldn't be allowed in shoutbox, this wouldn't be allowed in chat. Hell this wouldn't even be allowed in posts on the forums. Yet profile posts is fine?

    Allowed only in profile posts? Seems legit.

    Still...

    +1 for spam/trolling

    -1 if you are actually talking ( well, posting) to people.

    At the very least make the forum rules more specific on what classifies as spam. It's harmless but annoying, so I really don't know what to say.
