The most common usage of the term is in reference to the sending of unsolicited bulk e-mail advertisements.
It can also refer to the inappropriate posting of messages or links on a user-generated website such as this. Vandalism of a website or forum can also come under this term. For example, answering this question with an answer like "I like pie" (or an ad for a pie website) would be considered spamming. There are a special group of people on WikiAnswers dedicated to stopping this and banning spammers from contributing. So, don't do it and you'll be welcome here.

∙ 7y agoThe term "spam" in computing refers to unwanted junk eMails. Its origins come the Monty Python sketch "Spam" (a photo from this sketch appears in the image above) that appeared in 1970, where two customers in a cafe attempt to order a meal without Spam in it when it seems everything on the menu includes Spam.

Why is spamming a crime?
Spamming is not a large crime, but, it still is. Spamming is invasion of a page by posting the same thing over and over and over again. It is like a hack without hacking. If I filled a fourm with: "This fourm Sucks", that is an invasion of something and, it's just rude. Any invasion is a crime. Home, car, or page.
