Spam and all it's lovely permutations (lyrics, album, members, reviews)

There has been another recent upsurge in spam across the boards and MB want to clarify what we constitute as spam.

1. Posting one word/sentence posts to reach 15 and therefore clickable links is easily identified and ultimately, futile.

2. Making any post within your first five where you either 'promote' tour dates or releases is invariably seen as using MB as free advertising space.

3. First posts consisiting of album reviews of new or relatively unknown bands will always arouse suspicion.

4. My space ad's from members with 15 posts or less.

5. Any clickable links in your signature UNLESS either RYM/ Last. fm or any other personal media collections. All other sig links are at moderators discretion.

6. Posting reams and reams of lyrics and/or poetry without any other contribution to the site.

Any of these items seen upon the board will invariably be seen as spam and deleted as such. Whilst this may be seen as particulary bullish, we are only thinking of the site and want to maintain a decent quality and quantity of entertaning and enlightening threads.
