>>241basically this :^p
I appreciate the people who reported them as spam, but if the post itself is innocuous and it's only spam in the sense that it was also posted to a bunch of other IBs, sometimes I like to try leaving it up and letting marzinons check it out or riff on it - the UFO thread is a fun example :)
there are currently no rules against advertising, though that could change in the future!
I don't browse a super wide variety of altchans, so maybe it's more tiresome to see the spam posts if you've already seen them on like 4 other sites (^^;)
