You know, for being here only one day, you seem to know quite a bit. Are you on my list?

IMO the Spammer is just a subset of the Resident, and doesn't necessarily deserve its own group. But of course it's up to you.

Well, you can be a Spammer and not be a resident. I think that means it needs its own group.

@ Katie: I know some people on chess.com who would disagree.

I believe you mean: "I DO NOT YOU IDIOT" Kind of makes your case.

Should I throw grammar nazi on there? He also talks about differences between thread/forum/post

I'd acquiesce but, I was never able to prove or disprove if the account was one of many a resident uses, which is what I think Macer was saying in a round about way. Some things, you just know....

The Judge, Jury and Executioner.

He will judge your posts, find relevant wikipedia posts, declare you unfit for posting, and execute your name with a troll label, and banish you to the wastelands.

You stated straight forward that a spammer was someone who was here enough to qualify as a resident. My thoughts are that have either been here so long that you have to consider them a resident spammer or they are the accont of an emboldened resident who wants to have fun but, not with their primary account...either way a resident. I suppose it is possible that they are a sockpuppet theatre operator, working several theaters at once...

O, I just thought of a new one. What about the guy who creates a bunch of accounts and starts advertising about fake passports, livestream soccer games or escorts in Dubai?

I see your point. The way I interpreted it, a resident isn't defined as someone who joined chess.com a long time ago, but as someone who (1) spends a lot of time on chess.com, and (2) spends that time posting on the forums, and his comments are characterized by quantity rather than quality. And therefore by that definition pretty much all spammers are residents.

So for ex, the first person I thought of after reading the description for resident was GBC, and he was also the first person I thought of after reading the description for spammer (and I've thought of him as a spammer pretty much since I first noticed him).

The CIA Operative.

    Everybody is under constant surveilance. They will read your profile with the utmost scrutiny. They will do background checks on your friends. They will read everything on their notes page. They will check your game history. Their MO: Everybody is hiding something. Trust no one. Conspiracies are everywhere. Don't take anyone at face value.
