No, no, no, no.
To say that people are not going to be influenced to post when they are receiving payment for doing so is just ludicrous.
It isn't realistic that every single post that someone makes is going to be written by a genius. It needs to be understood that people are going to maybe not be the best writers/posters and may not be able to make the best quality posts but still put in the appropriate level of effort into posting. There is no reason to discriminate against them.

A thing to add to your list, which is my personal opinion... someone who does not care about adding punctuation, correct spelling, texting lingo, and especially those who don't capitalize. I mean, spam is usually made really fast by the user because they do not care about wasting their time on a constructive post. A few errors here and there are fine but if it is all errors then it bugs me. When people delve into using texting lingo like, "U R a gr8 m4n", it shows that they do not want to waste their time making a non spammy post.
EDIT: Improper Grammar also bugs me.

Is that you? Doesn't attach the name. There's a ton of posts though. You could be the forums most wanted.
I basically consider spamming. Meaningless, gibberish, time wasting and complete utter shit.
No. Certainly not me lol.
He was reported as spamming.?
generally, spam = sending the same message over and over again.
nonconstructive and short posts are not spamming, they're just worthless. much like spams.
though if I was managing a campaign, I'd disqualify the "thanks for this and that", "denied", "repaid", "bid" posts too.
basically, everything that's not going to do any good to the conversation shouldn't count.
P.S.
I hate it when 5 replies were posted while I was typing.

Need some definitions of spam or insubstantial posts.
I hope opinions are fine as well.
Should a campaign kick out members who do:
1. Forced posting? (i.e. making constructive posts for the campaign alone)
1. Forced posting? (i.e. making constructive posts for the campaign alone)
I wonder how you would detect that. This would imply that you could somehow reveal the intentions someone has when posting. I dont think this is possible and wild assumption would only get people pissed of.
2. Make posts that he usually do but are not exactly constructive.
I would not force someone to change their posting habits. Maybe talk to them about those cases and discuss a different pay rate. This would certainly require more work unless you could settle for a general terms, e.g. -10% off on all posts, but the unconstructive ones still count.
3. Somewhere in between constructive and not constructive.
Since there is no fine line I would give them the benefit of the doubt and allow them to improve. Tell the participant openly what you think could be improve or what should be avoided in the future.
4. Kicked by another campaign for spamming. But does not seem to be spamming as per the views of this manager?
In this case its probably a good idea talk to the manager what exactly they thought was spammy. It might be possible that the spammy posts had been removed by mods or the user in question.
Obvious spams are easily found and removed. But I am having trouble with the above ones.
Thanks

I know. Didn't really have anything really useful to add as I've not long been awake. So I thought I'd throw the spam I had at it.
There's the official definition.
But for signature campaigns we need to look at other kinds of spam.
This is getting weird.
