What is a social bookmarking spammer?

0 replies
All,

I have been accused on Reddit of being a spammer. In total I have made 6 posts on there over a period of a few months, each to a non-sales-site, just an informative page with nothing to sell. Sure they were my own pages, but on different sites also.

This "moderator" as he calls himself said in one of the comments of a recent post that he is going to shop me for being a spammer. He told other members to downgrade my post.

In this post I got a lot of good chat going in the comments amongst other users and was very good for Reddit, I would not consider this spam at all.

I don't understand.

Is this normal in the social bookmarking world. Am I only supposed to post links to CNN.com BBC.com etc.?

The reason I give a s*** is that he has a high Karma etc. and seems well established and maybe I have got this all wrong but surely social bookmarking is about sharing great stories/links, and spamming is sending out hundreds of pointless links to try to get traffic/sales which I am not doing.
