Well, those really were the only rules. The thread was created so that people would be relatively more "enticed" to spam there instead of in the more legitimate, involved discussions that popped up (for instance, about Sarah Palin, the upcoming US election, or even the LHC). Believe you me - I didn't think anything productive would come out of a dedicated "spam thread", because the entire thing would just lead to random nonsense (the likes of which, if it were a thread unto itself, would have been closed after the first post); nevertheless, there were people who wanted it and figured it would be fun. We gave it a try.
