Before reading these rules i thought Spamming is just putting up random and irrelevant posts, tagging people in wrong tweets etc. But looks like its more.

This is how Twitter defines spamming. Few of the points are kinda surprising. Check them out.

• If you have followed and unfollowed people in a short time period, particularly by automated means (aggressive follower churn);
