"Spamming"?

[michaelgallatin]

I've been a bit prolific of late and placed a lot of poems in here. If this has caused any problem for anyone (though I don't see how it could), I'm very sorry.

But a moderator here (shall remain nameless) accused me of "spamming" the site. How is contributing and sharing poetry anything like spamming?

Obviously spamming of any nature was never my intention and I resent this person's attitude. I also resent they're assuming that since they are a moderator here they can turn an opinion into an accusation.

There is nothing in the site rules about the number of poems a person can place in here! How does everyone else feel about this?

Hello Michael,

It is a general unwritten rule here that each member is to post no more than 2 to 3 poems a day.

I know you had no way of knowing this so, I will PM all members as a reminder.

Sorry for the confusion.

That's good to know! I don't think that even recently I've posted more than three poems in one day.

I hope the person who said I was "spamming" sees this. My wife says I'm taking this too personally. However, when someone uses that word to tell me I'm infringing upon the rights of other writers here, I feel it has become personal because that is extremely offensive.

Another thing that should be noted! When you comment back to readers about poems here, they go back on Page 1. So, say you comment on six poems. Then, guess what, you'll have a "run" of six poems clumped together on Page 1! Is that "spamming" or is that just the way this site works?
