Internet Spam is a serious problem. Samurai War does not condone Spam or any of it's forms. Here is mail-abuse.org's definition of Spam:

"An electronic message is "spam" IF: (1) the recipient's personal identity and context are irrelevant because the message is equally applicable to many other potential recipients; AND (2) the recipient has not verifiably granted deliberate, explicit, and still-revocable permission for it to be sent; AND (3) the transmission and reception of the message appears to the recipient to give a disproportionate benefit to the sender."

Examples of Spam include, but are not limited to:

• Repeatedly displaying your Samurai War link in chat rooms
• Posting your Samurai War link in improper sections of message boards (look for an "advertisements" section or similar)
• Sending unwanted email with your link
• Sending your link indiscriminately to multiple mailing lists, individuals, or newsgroups

Any player of Samurai War that is caught spamming will be punished to our discretion. Examples of punishment include, but are not limited to one or more of the following:

• Reduction of player statistics/money
• Account suspension
• Permanent account termination
• Permanent account termination and IP address ban

To stay safe, here are some guidelines on to what is considered "okay":

• Giving your link ONCE to your friends and people you know personally
• Posting your link on your own personal web site
• Posting your link ONCE in a chat room with people you know personally
• Emailing your friends or people you know personally with your link ONCE

Noticed the repeated "ONCE"s. One thing that makes Spam so bad is that it is repeated. If someone didn't click your link the first time, there is no reason why they would click it if you posted it multiple times after that. Remember that sometimes posting your link even once may lead to banning your account (especially sending it to admin).
