Freeping is different from Spamming.

Freeping is making members aware of a poll. Spamming is instructing members to use various means to distort the results of a poll through means like multiple browsers and devices, clearing cookies, and other means.

“We used to call that freeping but I suppose that the we are no longer the revolutionaries here.”

The difference is that we never believed that freeping was the real thing. Freeping was something done for fun and entertainment. Suppose we freeped a poll on gun control and the poll indicated that 87% was against it, we never said that had any serious meaning in the real world.

The RP fans ‘spamm’ a poll and promptly post a thread that 85% support RP for president. See the difference?
