I don't think it should even be considered spam at all.
On my mod's forums, it will not only not be spam, but will be encouraged.

Me neither.I don't even like Bill Gates…Firstly I intended to make it like that. Because nearly all the scratch-block spam posts I have seen were structured like that.(This is the ST's website, scratchers accept their term of use. Not our term of use.)Like this.
( I think that you guys are just whining a lot about something that does not matter.(
(Also you purposely made it hard by having one word per line.)

Secondly where in the terms of use does it say, “You are not allowed to moan about people misusing the scratch blocks?”. Answer: Nowhere.
I stress this point again: Just because ‘Paddle2See’ does not remove the spammy spamblock posts, it does not reflect the views of the REST OF SCRATCH. Put it this way, say Bill Gates like waffles. That would not reflect the view of his employees at Microsoft. Just because Paddle2See does not necessary mind scratch-block spam, it does not mean the rest of us scratchers don't either. When it comes down to it, the SCRATCHERS are the most important people on scratch, so if we find the scratch block spam annoying it should be removed.

A way to help discourage Scratchblock spam.
Now that this topic is back somehow, I feel I need to bring this up again:
The problem with this suggestion isn't whether Scratchblocks are helpful.Because, again:
It's that a filter like this would falsely tell hundreds a lot of users that their posts where Scratchblock spam.
They can be relevant in:And a lot of those are major topics! HwS, QaS, Suggestions, Bugs/Glitches!

A way to help discourage Scratchblock spam.
Well, I am sorry, I am terrible on Scratch Block talk, which is why I pretty much don't use it. Sorry if the topic was filled with Scratch Block spam, and that I was purely adding to it. We all at some point spam, and sometime we don't even realize it.Well, I am a bit wishy-washy with this: Let me explain:No one, no one, would spend the effort to do this just to evade a ban. I'm sure there are more feasible methods of spam.
But I do find it's usefulness, however. Scratch blocks are there to help display scripts and help clear out some stuff that is hard to explain in words.
Other than that, and for experimental use, I don't find use for Scratch Block talk.
But nevertheless, I think it should stay, even though it can be used as spam. *When Scratch Block Talk is relevant to the topic, it isn't as annoying as irrelevant Scratch Block Talk*
Like I said, I apologize if you found that post a bit too spam-like. (Does that even make sense, spam-like?)
If you have any more questions, concerns, or comments, feel free to let me know.

But scratchblocks can be relevant in almost all the forums.
They can be relevant in:And aside from that, it really isn't against the rules, and is nothing more than a small nuisance that can make it harder to read.

What, no; I did not find your post spammish, I didn't even say that. If anything, I found your post funny.…But I do find it's usefulness, however.

I completely agree with you that scratchblocks are important, I don't think we need to stop it at all.

My mind reads scratchblocks weirdly, so support!

Thanks. I know it only contributed, but it was the only way I could explain it without the really long paragraph (I over explain things, so if I didn't explain by picture, almost a eighth of this page would be nothing but explanation.)Now let's get back on topic, Scratch!

*snip*I think it should be 50 posts (as stated in OP) BUT more than 2 months old. Half a year sounds good.
The message would not pop up in three circumstances:
On the Help with Scripts forum.
On the Scratchblocks testing topic.
When you are over 2 months old in terms of your Scratch age and you have more than 10 50 posts on the Scratch forums.
