A Spam Shelter is a place of refuge created on online message boards in times of intense Spamage. Role-playing is often prevalent at such times and talk of smoking weed and fighting the Spam often takes place.
The Totse member Ford Prefect created the first Spam Shelter when Totse was under a massive attack by Eight_ Mullato. The thread reached over 250 posts before unfortunately being deleted in a following Spam attack. Many similar topics have popped up since then.

A of place drama and antics, spam central is one of the central hubs of posting for the website FlyFF World. Here the users of the site are allowed to post as they wish, with the least amount of moderation.
This increased "freedom" often leads to drama however, arguably what makes it so popular. There are many small social groups, one of which a user often has to become a part of to be "accepted" into Spam Central. Much like the animal kingdoms, there are "Alpha Males" who rule over the rest of the members. New members to are usually shunned until they gain experience of build up a "reputation". A Typical Thread in Spam Central might go like this -
Member A: Omg, I post pix Member B: Omg, u r so hawt Member C: Omg, no wai man, she is a camel Member A: Omg Fu fu fu Member B: Omg A, u r so hawt Member D: <NONSENSICAL CRAP> Member C: <Various pictures of cats and kittens with captions> Member A: Lulz. |

1. To spam an online discussion with inane and off-topic comments in an attempt to stifle intelligent debate. Usually done by insecure forum members (fanboys) who are unable to acknowledge or discuss negative aspects of their chosen platform.
2. To derail an online discussion under the guise of "self-moderation". This term originated on the Playstation 3 (PS3) section of the well respected site AVS Forum. A thread was started to discuss the (then) recently announced $1 billion loss by Sony and how that would affect the pricing and future of the PS3. A small minority of forum members took this to be an attack on the PS3 and proceeded to inundate the thread with off-topic banter and in-jokes (involving turkey-bacon and waffles). Regular forum members continued to try to intelligently analyse the subject, but these postings were overwhelmed by off-topic chatter and the thread eventually closed.
