As I see it - one person making the same thread over and over again is spamming. Multiple people making multiple threads with genuine intent to discuss an issue they care about is not. It’s just indicative of a topic being important to many people. The fact that the conversation get heated is also not indicative of spam. It’s how every other topic on the forums and on the internet in general goes.

Many people post multiple of the same/similar threads and it isn’t spam? Okay then

Yes. I like to imagine it like this. Suppose that this was the official forum for the discussion of US politics. Now suppose that the US declared war on North Korea. The forum would be flooded with posts. They wouldn’t all be different. They wouldn’t all be amicable. But it wouldn’t be spam. It would be an expected result given the circumstances. That’s how public discourse works - it’s not curated and it’s not restricted to one conversation. As a result, you get some repetition and some acrimony.
To me spam is an act that requires intent. The fact that there are many posts concerning Mercy on the forums is not spam. That’s many people wanting to express their opinions concerning Mercy and converse about her. None of these individuals are responsible for the others. They don’t have the intent to spam. You can only judge them as spamming if you view them as a monolithic entity.

We have different opinions, to me it’s spam. No justification.
Fair enough.
Out of curiosity - did you feel the same way about the multiple daily posts asking for Mercy to be nerfed prior to the patch?
I said Mercy was in an okay spot, balanced and FUN a few days ago, coming from a Flex main. And guess what I got? A remark that Mercy mains “want players like ME OFF Mercy the most”, because apparently I don’t have a religious connection enough with her despite her being one my three most picked heroes with over 100 hours.
Who are these “WE” people that you’re talking about? Should I, or should I NOT generalise Mercy mains? Since being a “fake” mercy player is apparently a good reason enough to be shunned and being called an imposter at.

And that is exactly how it is viewed because meh Mercy Mains which that is applied even to people who are not Mercy players but complain that they think she is in a poor design state.
It’s really that people aren’t concerned about Mercy’s gameplay state don’t want there threads to have share the same space as the Mercy threads.
What in god’s name are you talking about kid? You seem a little to mad for being told to switch off a hero.
Nah, you got it wrong. I didn’t get told to switch off Mercy in game. I got told to gtfo off Mercy by the poster above you because I said she’s still a viable pick and used to provide the most value out of all supps before this patch.
First you are putting all mercy mains under one name. I think that is enough so that nobody should tkae your words seriously.
Second what is fun to her? Not being able to keep her allies alive like other healers can? Or her bird-eye spectator camera? Or her “turn in the statue of liberty” move? Her kit feels underwhelming and sluggish. Only fun thing remaining there is GA. And I already feel the nerf to it coming.

You have no idea how many times I hear that trying to play Genji…its very toxic. Even when his mains are on my team and begin to throw the game cause of it.
It’s not just Mercy mains. Stop throwing a fuss.

She’s fun because she requires less attention to mechanics and gives you opportunities to have a broader view of the game state. The most talkative I am in comms is when I either play Main Tank or Mercy. You notice things people simply can’t because they’re so tunnel visioned into their own gameplay, when you can see everything easier without getting punished. This is what I enjoy from her, and shotcalling is one of the things I enjoy the most. Seems like I’m not in the same page as others.
Oh, maybe it’s because I’m an imposter Mercy so I’m not allowed in the Mercy club.
I think that is what is unfun to her. She is not challenging in any way and her ultimate is an engagement ult, not a teamsaving or purely offensive one like other supports have. After taking her res out of her ult and putting it on an unearned 30 sec CD and giving her the glorified spec mode as an ult Mercy’s destiny was to die. Appearently this patch just did the work. 15 nerfs. 15 harsh, big nerfs. Blizzard has lost their mind.

Stop. This shouldn’t and isnt a thing. It’s all mains. Now just Mercy mains.
This is nothing but toxicity that needs to end.

You can just flag if he continues being all cocky and stuff. Seems like the convo won’t lead anywhere 
I literally got that treatment a few days ago by the most vocal Mercy main in this thread. Now I’ll just shut up and excuse myself to play the game. The forum is a terrible place for relaxation.
And I get that from the genji mains. You dont see me complaining about it.
They act like its only Mercy mains that do that.
Also, they must have been a bad mercy
Same. I was told I don’t have enough hours on Mercy and I’m not a true Mercy player because I think currently Mercy is fun and fine and the balance changes are good. 
The bottom line is if you think Mercy is fun and balanced, you are not a Mercy player and you are a troll. Any different opinion and you are automatically not a Mercy player anymore unless you religiously defend she is useless and want Mass Rez back in the game.
Reasoning with them is impossible. They will justify anything and everything to get what they want.
Hold on a minute you are generalizing my comments to you as to be representative of Mercy Mains as a whole?
Or should you stop what you beginning to do in generalizing my personal comments of distain for your view point of Mercy is ok being Low Effort and thereby Low Impact as representing an entire group of players.
I don’t care if you were a Mercy One-Trick saying the same things about it being OK for Mercy to be a Low Effort hero.
But adding the Flex part shows me you just want a Low Effort hero, so when you’re not wanting to play with effort you just default to Mercy. < That is what disgusts me, that you would want a hero to be that way.
Now I’m going to revise this to address me because I’m the one who said this not the entirety of Mercy Mains.
You may have just filtered out that important “if” part that said it’s actually an important part of the point that I was making.
