Forum spam is the creating of messages that are advertisements, abusive, links to other websites or otherwise unwanted on Internet forums. When becoming a member to a forum, one should read the rules on how to conduct oneself in an acceptable behavior. Forum Spam is generally done by automated spambots, or manually with unscrupulous intentions with one idea in mind, to get the spam in front of readers who would otherwise not have anything to do with it intentionally.

Famous quotes containing the word forum:
“That age will be rich indeed when those relics which we call Classics, and the still older and more than classic but even less known Scriptures of the nations, shall have still further accumulated, when the Vaticans shall be filled with Vedas and Zendavestas and Bibles, with Homers and Dantes and Shakespeares, and all the centuries to come shall have successively deposited their trophies in the forum of the world. By such a pile we may hope to scale heaven at last.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
