I was wondering what is considered spam? I have questions I never got any replies to so I was wondering if I could do another attempt.
Can you ask the same question with different working? EX:
I need help with this achievement
can some one help me with this achievement
who can help me with this achievement
Or maybe what a specified amount of time before repeating? EX:
I need help with this achievement
wait x (x=specified time)
I need help with this achievement
I would like to know so I don’t get banned for trying to get an answer again.
Well you shouldn’t make multiple threads for the same topic even if you rephrase the title. Post bumping is also considered spam so it doesn’t matter how much time you wait.
If it’s achievements you seek check out this thread or search True Achievements and see if anyone else needs the same ones as you.

No it isn’t an Achievements, that was just an example I used.

You can’t even necroposts? What if you post a question that never receives an answer then what? Just because no one on at the time is aware of an answer doesn’t mean in the future near or far this will remain the same. What if you have an important question that you need replies to?

Yeah, you can’t post in a thread that last was active quite a long time ago. I don’t know the exact date, though, before it’s considered “necroposted”. But if you want to talk about a subject that was around long enough that it finally got locked by a Monitor, and there are no other current threads open about the subject, you are free to create a new thread to continue the discussion (linking the URL to the old/locked thread in your opening post is a good thing to do, too).
But if you do want an answer to something, and your thread doesn’t get any responses and slowly gets pushed out of sight, sadly, there’s little more you can do without risking spam actions. Look around at the current threads that are active, and check out the different sub-forums to try to find an active thread where your question can be posed without going off-topic.

Okay and thank you for this response detailed. It is unfortunate that they have such harsh rules on spam.
It’s only harsh because it needs to be OP, though I’ve moderated for forums in the past that a lot more strict than here. If you ever have any questions about forum moderation, please bring it up with the moderor in question or the team directly
