Hmmm... sort of reminds me of a friend who's in 1/72 scale (according to everyone else, that is)

You can find tentative release dates, as well as box-set images, on my blog. Also: Star Trek First Contact Special Edition on 3/15, and Star Wars Clone Wars Vol. I on March 22nd.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

There is in my mind a vast and obvious difference between some informative (and on topic) news and a pitch, out of the blue, to go visit some personal project somewhere.
I mean, it's a little like complaining that this forum is filled with suspicious ads for this "Star Trek" show. But, I guess these are strange times.

Yes, but what of that new guy in the ENT forum who linked to his review of the latest episode? He was shut down for spamming, but surely that's on-topic? If he had copied and pasted the text of his review instead of linked to it then no one would have said anything, so why the double standard?

Coming to a discussion forum and discussing something is, to me, self-evidently different than "click here!"
I'll admit that a "smell test" for spam seems arbitrary, but I really don't see any satisfactory way to generate a better definition that isn't full of loopholes, and what's more, I think what we've got works.
So anyway, I can see how one might disagree with the decision in the linked thread, but I really don't see any connection to this one.

The other post was on topic, but was also by a complete stranger. If one of your friends came up to you constantly trying to get you to watch a certain film, it would be annoying, but tolerable. If a complete stranger came up to you and tried to get you to see a certain film, then you'd be legally entitled to tell him to piss off.
If the other lad had actually posted, well, anything before getting to the "click here" message, then it would have been ignored. Even something like "Hi, I've got a review of the last Enterprise episode, do you mind if I post a link here?" would have worked.

What you're essentially saying is that a new member's first post is not allowed to contain a link to an internet document. Which I must say is ridiculous. Unless there's some insidious content on the other end of that link, or it's sole purpose is to aid in the personal gain of the individual in question, it isn't and shouldn't be considered spam.
Lighten the "fuck" up and chill the "fuck" out, y'all.

No, it isn't "respectfully." This connection you've manufactured between this thread and that one exists only inside your head.
