It is comparable to flooding on IRC channels; if you send much more |
| 26 |
messages, you are much more likely to experience a kick and/or a ban. |

It is easier not to flood than to convince people there is no problem |

I've only come across one where they don't mind pasted long code blocks |
| 31 |
