This spreading of cat-symbols all over the place, despite the character of ány topic is in my opinion nothing less than SPAM.
It is impolite, insulting, offending and affronting, because it totally ignores what people are sharing at any conversation.
But in their first reaction, the moderation team wants to leave it the way it is.

"On h2g2, spamming is the posting of the same (or very similar) messages to lots of forums. Flooding is when the same (or very similar) message is posted over and over again to the same conversation. It's especially antisocial if it's off-topic for those forums. So please don't deliberately send the same message, or very similar messages, to loads of different Conversation Forums, or post the same message to one Conversation multiple times."

If you object to spam, then why are you posting the same message all over h2g2? You're doing exactly what you're complaining about, posting spam.

Writing down a message at three forums is not the same as SPAM, as we all know.
I refer especially to what you can read at that Entry if you click on the "TASK" button, which I had forgotten to mention.
So this is a good opportunity.
Greatings, Alfredo.
"I have decided that the Task for all disciples will be:
To draw the attention of all members of the Ministry Of BLACK, to the use of the word BLACK by non Ministry researchers, in any conversation thread
On seeing the word BLACK in a conversation, disciples will respond with a post with no comment on the subject matter, just their Disciple Number and a cat smiley.
(Or whatever Smiley you have dispensation to use)
Disciples will then leave a link in the conversation titled (strangely enough) "Use Of The Word BLACK" (below) in order that other Disciples can do the same
If you are already part of the conversation, carry on, but make sure to leave a separate post as detailed
If questioned, refer the questioner to the Rules Of The Ministry Of BLACK or Myself
Do not attempt to justify your actions"
