!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] or spamming is, usually, the use of [messaging|Message] systems to send an unsolicited [message], especially [advertising], as well as sending messages repeatedly on the same site. While the most widely recognized form of spam is [email] spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: 
* [Instant Messaging]
* Usenet newsgroup
* Web search engine
* [blogs]
* [wiki]
* online classified ads
* [fax] transmissions
* [Social Websites] 
* mobile [apps]
* [television] [advertising]
* file sharing spam. 
[{$pagename}] is named after Spam, a luncheon meat, by way of a Monty Python sketch about a restaurant that has Spam in every dish and where patrons annoyingly chant "Spam!" over and over again.

Spamming remains economically viable because advertisers have no operating costs beyond the management of their mailing lists, servers, infrastructures, IP ranges, and domain names, and it is difficult to hold senders accountable for their mass mailings. The costs, such as lost productivity and fraud, are borne by the public and by [Internet Service Providers], which have been forced to add extra capacity to cope with the volume. Spamming has been the subject of legislation in many [jurisdictions].

A person who creates spam is called a spammer.[{$pagename}] often contain [messages] with [Exploits] and use [Social Engineering Attacks] to exploit on or more [Vulnerability] in [Software] or [Humans] or other [Malware]

[{$pagename}] may be sent by [bots]
