It encourages spam, if you don't have a spam section, people won't spam. The section just creates spam...

I have seen it on a major forum, and it is a huge success.

People dont actually spam, the posts are just pointless and its a forum for people to "be silly" i guess.

Then that forum has idiot members. Having a spam forum encourages spam, if the member can't handle the fact there isn't room to spam then why on earth are they using a forum? :|

Spam is anything that doesn't contribute. The only purpose of spam is to increase a forums total post count... Find a "Successful" forum with a spam forum and you can have 20p.

So? That doesn't matter, it increases the overall forum postcount and that's its only purpose. Any self respecting admin won't want a forum of spam... :|
