On the topic of reporting:
The sample you shared does not appear to be spam. Spam does not typically refer to topics created with attention grabbing titles (though some topics or titles may violate other rules).
To clarify, spam typically relates to advertisements or copy/pasting large amounts of text or repeating the same text. A single user creating multiple topics with the same title could be considered spam.
OHHHHH, YOU JUST GOT #BURNT BY A MODERATOR! No but really, thanks for bringing that to our attention. I feel like it's necessary to clarify some more things people here get wrong as well. Like stuff with trolls and what is "bait"

Myself and other mods have AMAA's. If there are specific questions these are good things to ask there too (I don't want to distract from this thread). 
Or perhaps, questions in the Help and Support forums.
There's some things that don't really go without saying though. Like this for example where you have to make an entire thread for it

It's not a good sign that inspite of this issue being present since quite some time , it has reached an extent that a thread has to be officially made for it . So the question arises , will such kind of threads be taken down from now on even if they don't violate Tos or is it upto the members' actions.
They get removed but take longer to see when there are replies to them

I normally wouldn't make a topic but there were a lot of members replying to spam topics today, especially in Off Topic
The second ever pinned topic in the off topic forums I'm apart of history now
Ouch, Teri... Still, it does seem that breezy does post a lot...

Oh, yeah, I simply wanted to bring similarities to frequent posting and spam rules. Possibly sparking a set amount of threads per day (nothing crazy, like even 5) would be a welcome change for most members.

It'll probably be unpinned later in it's life once the events are handled, but for now, enjoy it.

I wish people would listen to this. It’s inevitable for people to comments on those threads though.
Very good point, and man, this is the only other pinned topic I ever remember seeing in otf since I've joined lol.

guys I'm going to have to bump this, it's been 3 hours and it needs to be on the front page for more people to see it
Literally lol. I thought it was a layout bug in the chess.com app
