What Constitutes Spam

from WinCustomize Forums

Spam is 'unsolicited advertising'.

That's the general/accepted terminology for the definition of spam.

On Stardock's skinning site - Wincustomize.com that excludes 'all' threads relating to skinning programs and their promotion, as they are specific to our 'game'.

Someone promoting their new Windowblinds skin release...whether a premium [paid-for] or freely released skin is NOT spam.

Someone linking to an off-site skinnable [such as the recent Gaia skin] is NOT spam. [its removal was due to other issues].

What 'appears' to be advertising, if it originates from legitimate sources [Stardock's Moderators/Admins] is also not spam.  It is social communication to fellow members who may be interested and thus benefit from this communication.

No matter the source/origins what you see on the site will always be 'policed content', and typically verified for safety/security prior to its posting.

REAL spam is removed. as are its authors.

You, as a site member/contributor can feel safe that anything posted publicly is NOT detrimental to your well-being and/or site enjoyment.

That's why we are here...;)

Same kinda jelly that's on the inside of a pork pie !!

Oh, for a good old pork pie... with that scrummy aspic. :d

Sadly, the good old English style pork pie is as rare as rocking horse manure here in Oz, and when you actually find one it's as expensive as hell.

There is a pie shop not too far from me, and the regular Aussie style meat pies are around $5.00 - $6.00... their English style pork pies [made in Oz but to old English recipe] $9.50.  They don't sell too many... and no wonder.  I mean, who in their right mind would pay that for a bit of [less than prime-cut] pork wrapped in pastry?  Even their regular pies are way over priced IMHO... like I can make a half a dozen just as good at home for that price... and I do.  Pork pies at home, though, not quite as easy to get right.

As for spammers.... crush their gonads under ID's hammer. :banhammer:

I hate spam - vile stuff.

Pork Pie is much better. Not the commercial mass produced ones but the traditional variety. Mmmmm!

 

I'm partial to a bit of corned beef too...

Haven't had one of those in donkeys years.... like about '69 would have been the last really, really decent one I had... at the Black Horse Inn with a pint or 3 of Whitbread Tankard... or Trophy, cos it were threepence cheaper.  Yeah, I know, I was only 16!  But I was a big lad for my age.... and I could down 8 - 10 pints [scrumpy included] before I started getting legless... so they thought I was a seasoned drinker and older.

As for the commercial, mass produced ones, yeah, we get those here.  A few places import them, but they're small and quite expensive... gone in a couple of man-sized bites and nowhere near value for money... hence they stay on the supermarket shelf.   The locally produced ones, nah, they're just not the same, like there's something missing while something non-traditional has been added, and I'm not overly fussed on them

There was a place a few years back where we could get a very close to an authentic pork pie, and that was the Britannia Inn, which popped up in Brisbane after the World Expo in '88, but alas, that is now gone, along with its traditional English cooking and imported English beers.  Ah, the memories... you can get the lad out of England, but you can't get England out of the lad.  I still make and enjoy the traditional roast beef and Yorkshire pud. :d

Bit of wishful thinking there. :)
