Was Close Enough. Maybe. - Chipwoodstock - 06-Oct-2013
I try to avoid spam (despite being a big chatterbox) so I limit myself to...
- 2 gallery images per visit
- 1 download per visit
- 3 posts per visit

Well, spam is not defined by volume but by content. You can post ten things in a row that all add to the conversations without it being spam, or you can post once a month with something useless.
Rule of thumb to avoid spam messages: post at least two sentences, one of which expresses your opinion on something.
Rule of thumb to avoid spam downloads and gallery pictures: spend at least as much time making the thing as it will take ten people to check out what it is.

Would a witty one-liner message be exempt from that condition? XD

Per visit means just check. Not close CCZone, then open it up a couple moments later. Wonder how close I was to the actual amount of considered spammage...

I'm curious to know what exactly the purpose of this experiment is...

1. Unless you mean actually uploading one, I don't see how viewing gallery images results in spam. I believe you meant the former.
2. As with the first reply, unless you download an excessive amount of downloads (and even sometimes then), I can't exactly see how that's spam, unless uploading.
3. I typically limit myself to 3 to 5 posts that are not associated with the Games and Trivia section, as that's kind of the spammy section of CCZone anyway, so three posts per visit sounds good if it suits you well.
