<--- one word posts ... j/k

actually his one word post has impact . Yes GT can be spam infected , but I think the mods do a good job keeping it at bay . Most of the topics started are well thought out and seemingly intelligent

Spam of the internet kind has alot of meanings the most general one is Unwanted Advertising.

But it can extend to anything from offtopic posts to |337 'leet' speak...

I disagree with the staff GT is meaningful and hardly ever has 'spam' in it...

Oh come on...if you want SPAM, go to the ADVERTISE section or the WELCOME section...then, visit GT and see how this CAN be spam, but doesn't have to be.
