I request a section called Random Spam.
A section for.. Well, yea. Spamming.
Little to no rules - this applies to both users and moderators.
What do you think about this idea?
It would also take a bit of the off-topic talk from General Discussion away.

EDIT: Examples:
Cheat Engine Forum's Random Spam section.
Paint.Net's "The Alfredo" section.

I don't think we need it.
We have the general board, which, as of the updates, doesn't add to post count. Couple that with the fact we have the general banter subforum, we don't really need one where all the posts are going to be:
"Lololol SPAMM!"

I don't think this is needed. Neither is the Flame Thread.

If you start a fire, you will need to be very careful, or it can burn down an entire forest.

Spam section = General Forums don't go towards post count anymore

Flame Topic = People have a limit before blowing up.

:D

spam threads tend to show the worst in people, it wouldn't make UESP look good imo. And its not really needed.

Something that no one can argue against; "Discuss site issues and any Elder Scrolls topics." (Top of the page.)

I think we're blessed enough to have General.

not unless it didn't count toward post count, or counted as a different kind.

A random spam topic won't improve the "quality" of these forums. If you want to spam, there are many other forums where they do have spam topics. But our major objective here is to help people who have questions about Elder Scrolls games.
I don't think a spam topic would work with that objective.

to be honest i can't see the point of any spam, it's meaningless, annoying and just uses up server speed

I think this topic has run it's course. There will be no spam thread, and thus.. locked.
