"What if 50 of us each came up with a great cause and wanted to spam 50-100 times to promote it?

That way lies madness."

Oh, please. Do you know what it takes to administer such a contest? You have nothing to worry about. BTW, said contest is in its 11th year and has raised somewhere in the neighborhood of $40,000 all told.

Now that I've got that off my chest . . .

I kind of assumed 3 posts of similar material (where not authorized by SI admins) in one day constituted spam. But I can't find that precise a definition in the terms of use. It mentions in the FAQ that free accounts are limited to 3 posts per day. Is that supposed to read three substantially similar posts? What about paying or grandfathered members; is there a different standard for them?

Why isn't this stuff spelled out in the thread header? Not to mention the TOU?

Cheers, Tuck
