Just because someone else may break the rules does not mean you are allowed to do so. If you see someone in violation of the rules, report the post and it will automatically be flagged for moderator review. We can't review every single post on the forums, so we rely on user reports to find rules violations. Your post was flagged for spam because it wasn't a real post. You even admitted that in your post: You were posting for the sake of posting, and not contributing anything of value
