I understand your concern, as I hate spam as much as the next guy, but spam generally refers to unsolicited advertisement, and considering that this particular forum is dedicated to music promotion in Southern Maryland, I'd say that it would be exempt from the title of "spam." Wow, that was a really long sentence. Most of the other threads in this forum, although not typically as blatantly promotional as this, could be considered advertisements.
Sidenote: Muchos thanks to the OP. Are you on the street team, by chance?
