@Logic;

Spammers are what the vast majority of people here in SYM are. They post with no reason and no understanding, and the great weight of their foolishness slows the board and costs Buck Satan money. (Counting with Aegis, anyone? )

Commers are the cult of communication. We (for I am a Comm) believe that if it gets posted, it should be worthy of reading. Anyone who strives for intelligent (or at the very least, entertaining) posting is a Comm. Our illustrious leader is the great Weasel.

Slurrers are a bunch of spammers who drink a lot of "shine." Their entertainment value is their only saving grace. Usually, however, this entertainment is not enough to erase the fact that they have SPD (spam per day) ratings far higher than can be considered reasonable.

There are other marginal cults: Lurker come to mind ... and there was a group that was adamantly NON-aligned ...

Anyhoo! Hope that clears things up a bit.

Peace.

Well COMM of course, only with COMM you get free sunglasses and black suit, and you even get the honor of the Divine Leadership of His Excellence Weasel Himself.

As well as an appalling lack of common sense

@'Logic'-/-\lastor is right, COMM is definitely the place for you...

Also COMMs are like SLURRs (aside from the shine), only they're far less entertaining and hence have no saving graces at all...

Wink True enough...

...we may not be as entertaining as some groups would be...

...however, that's not what COMMunication is for in the first place. I don't want to sound redundant but just read COMMrade der Moench's post. He said it plain and simple. He may not post that much, but what he says more often than not, makes sense... (other posts would be classified as "socializing" with fellow SYMians)

Others COMMunicate a lot though they refuse to admit it.
