Not quite true.
In general chat people are free to post almost whatever they like, as long as its not offensive or inflammatory.
I know that in the other sections, people do occasionally make posts of dubious value, change topic etc. There are some people who feel the need to make a post in every thread, regardless of the value of their post.
Its a balancing act between keeping IIS a friendly place, whilst hopefully keeping the silliness to an acceptable level to avoid scaring off some of the more serious experienced people who might otherwise shake their head and not contribute.
We can never be all things to all people but we try 
P.S Moderators often dont have time to read each and every post, so if anyone sees a thread going out of control, you can make use of the "report bad post" button.

Actually Dave, spam is a cold pressed meat in a Tin. http://www.spam.com/ How it got to become an everyday term for unsolicited and unwanted items posted and mailed on the net I'm not sure...

Tinned spiced ham (called spam courtesy WW2) that will last forever without flavour or substance,
followed in the sixties with a Monthy Python sketch where the aforementioned spam is all pervading.

Spam is the last thing that anyone wants to eat and the same is for posts that are tasteless or of little value. But I say when in Rome do as the Romans do.

Nah, like I said when in Rome, I am gonna be a Roman from now on. You need a sense of humour for all this, besides I want to see my post count improve, so many others seem interested in improving theirs so that's what I am gonna do also. Should be fun.
