Spam
Repetitive, meaningless messages.
Summary
Spam refers to any unwanted electronic message, like junk mail, but on the internet. Spam is often advertisements that make their way past useless spam filters. Usually found in email or forums, spam can also be found in chatrooms or IRC. Spam is one of those things that eleven year old trolls do, that you should ignore, because a response is what they want.
Some forms of mass e-mail spam or other spam are netcrime operations. This is especially true with 419.
Current status
Still happening, nothing has really been done about it.
