Let me try again:
What I meant is:

My point is:
If people actually knew how to RP and organize properly, none of this would be an issue at all. But instead there is pointless competition and greed for fictional coin that only creates bad blood, harassment, spam and sabotage, and paywalled "roleplay" that creates bad blood because peiople don't know the difference between IC and OOC.
Spam is the symptom, not the disease.
You'll find that most people who aren't into RP at all, and don't go to venues either, who just play the game for what it is... They don't care about the context of the ads. It's all "rp spam" in their eyes. Not that they care enough to dive deep into the differences, it's just commonly labeled rp spam for the sake of simplicity. So before you get upset about the generalization of the category, you can at least understand the reasoning behind it. It's much easier to just say "rp spam" or "RP ad" than to bother wasting time using extra words to differentiate between the types of ads that all fall under the spam category
