Question

Is it considered spam to post news of a extraordinary discovery? For example, if a new exciting chemistry discovery was just made, would it be spam to share that as a question?

Answer 1

If it is...would it be good to make a section for news like this? (educational discoveries only )

Answer 2

So I think there would a be a fine line between " a new compound has been discovered" and " this movie just broke the box office" in regards to spam

Answer 3

Well it all depends on what section you post it and if its chemistry based and its in the chem section then i think its ok.

Answer 4

Yep as long as it is in the correct section :)

Answer 5

But it must be appropriate :)

Answer 6

But if its about the new Iphone or something then it would be spam.
