The difference b/t discussing a product and spam?

So, it's a slow day so I thought I would ask. I know we talked a lot about the sleep suit, but I keep seeing posts about the Zipadeething that smell like spam. At what point is it spam and not a discussion? Should I flag or just move on? It doesn't bother me much at this point but if every new product did this...the boards would be horrible.

  • Spam is the possablilty of personal gain from something. Mainly new accts posting on every board, xyz is amazing!
    Spam wouldnt be sharing product loves, or sales etc.

  • Yea I think there are some usernames that are trying to mention the product as much as possible by making it look like a convo but it would be difficult to prove. Just smells fishy. I'll just ignore them...not really that big of a deal just curious. I'm probably going to focus on more interesting things.

    If you think it is spam flag it and let the mods decide.

    No. They are notoriously slow at this sometimes.
