hi everyone,
i would like to clarify an issue that i had recently and would like to know how far can you call an act as spam and acuse a person of spamming.
few days ago, for the first time i have joined a contest for a t-shirt design and have been active for two days scoring other t-shirt designs and giving critique and comments. I have even started a blog topic asking people for their opinion. no one has replied. at a point where i have asked other designers to comment back and give me their opinion/critique leaving a link back to my design i was acused of spamming. it was a group of 2 or 3 members that have acused me of spamming being very rude and starting to harass me ever since even threaten that me and my designs won't survive in this community and that they will keep scoring my designs to zero.
if my act is considered spam, is leaving link to my design and asking people for their support, scoring and commenting on ther forums like myspace, facebook etc. (which is even sujested) also spamming? in my opinion people on other online communities can be also annoyed with my promotion and advertising of my design and acuse me of spamming.
whether on contest website's FAQ nor their TOUs is mentioned that posting links of your designs into someone elses design comments is considering spam. what is against their policies in their TOU is those general spams like posting inappropriate content, malicious software, videos, mp3, pornographic content and links to questionable and inappropriate websites.
