Yes you were wrong because by labeling it spam (even if that's how you saw it) instantly put people who may have been able and willing to moderate their behaviour and even back you up in a contrary stance.
Politely asking people to reduce the activity and clearly explaining why without resulting to inflammatory language might have produced the results you were after.
Instead it developed to the point where you resorted to name calling and foul language which to some extent got me off the Politics thread but won't remove me from anywhere else (only a moderator will do that).
It also hasn't stopped people from posting images or wandering off topic but it has toned down.
Anyway nice to notice some new members and continued activity on the creative side of things hopefully that will lighten the general mood.
