For real. People are mad sensitive to that... if you so much as bring up your songs or poetry or whatever, they jump down your friggin throat and excommunicate you from the planet. Unless they explicitly ask for it. Even then.

Yeah, I can't tell you how many times I've been kicked off forums being called a spammer.

I think the bigger question is not "what is considered spam?", but "what is useful promotion?"
