I think you need to be a little more specific about the spam rule. It is being stretched to lengths that it was not intended to cover. Just talking shouldn't be counted as spam. If this were the case, everyone would have been banned a lot. Secondly, spam is know as repetitive nonsense, which this if expanded in definition, means that spam is the repeated posting of one or more words in a short amount of time INTENDED to flood the chat, and/or make it crash.

What spam is:

User:

HI

HI

HI

HI

What Spam isn't:

User:

-Disscussion-

-talking-

-communicating in a sensible fashion-

I'd also like to point out that your rules aren't very specific. Certain rules should be explained in more detail, like the one I just told you about, while others can be simplified. It isn't fair to other users when they get banned or kicked for so called "Spamming" when they were in reality, just having a conversation. Now if it's a massive post, let's say, ten or more lines, then you can consider a disscussion spamming.

To sum up my complaint, wiki rules aren't like rules in the constitution where they can be stretched to cover areas that should never be covered. "Elastic Clause" should only be operated in government, not anywhere else, mainly because it is only allowed for government. Please disscuss the rule in further detail before it is enforced again.
