What is Spam?

Spam is commercial email or unsolicited bulk email, including "junk mail”, which has not been requested by the recipient. It is intrusive and often irrelevant or offensive, and it wastes valuable resources. Spam messages are the opposite of permission-based email, which are normally anticipated, personal, relevant and/or associated with a pre-existing business or personal relationship. Inappropriate newsgroup activities, consisting of excessive posting of the same materials to several newsgroups, are also deemed to be spam.

Spam will not be tolerated at Red Lounge.  Offenders will be fined to the fullest extent permitted by law.
