redefine spamming
1. a single comment isn't spam
2. telling someone that their price is absurd isn't spam
3. a single comment CAN'T be spam

i'm tired of greedy outpost noobs that make appeal to authority when you try to bring them down on earth again, by saying that every single comment which isn't on their taste is spam. mods please stop feeding these backseat moderators that seem to be entitled. it's enough that it takes like 1 month to review and close a ticket.

Spam is also defined not as repeated posts, but unnecessary posts.

From the rules:
No spamming. This rule applies to both trade notes and offers, where spam is considered: Rudeness. Derogatory statements made regarding the value of the trade or listed prices.

You don't get to decide what spamming is and isn't, that's the job of the outpost mods/admins. If they deem a post spam, then it's spam.

1. A single comment CAN be considered spam, I could go on your trade and say "YOU'RE A FOOL FOR TRYING TO GET THAT PRICE" this is spam.
2. Telling someone their price is absurd is also spam. I have the right to sell my items for whatever the hell I want, and that goes the same for everyone ever, including you.
3. Your third reason is the exact same as the first...

Also, you don't really have the right to call other users noob when you yourself haven't been using outpost longer than 75% of the community.

If you don't want to get banned for spamming, just don't post stupid shit on other people's trades. You literally accomplish nothing for posting regarding another person's prices. My advice? Leave them alone. If their price is so absurd, then they won't be able to sell their items, so it doesn't concern you at all.

Yeah you're probably right. Except cases when i need the item, in which case i can bargain.

This is still a incorrect term to be used for spam. It should be changed to another term to prevent confusion as evidented by this thread.

Heres the definition of spam:
irrelevant or unsolicited messages sent over the Internet, typically to large numbers of users, for the purposes of advertising, phishing, spreading malware, etc.
While these messages arent sent to a large number of users, they are irrelevent and unwanted comments on a trade, which classify them as spam, the rules also explicitly state that spam can be unwanted comments, so the term does not need to redefined.

Instead of insulting the user you should have reported him and hid his post, insults are against site rules, thats why you got the ban.

Just wait out your ban and don't insult other users again. If anyone insults you, instead of retaliating, just report them.
