Spam is the noun form. <span style="font-family:Triforce, sans-serif;">'''[[User:Dr. Pain 99|<font color=navy>D<font color=#190080>o<font color=#310080>c<font color=#490080>t<font color=#620080>o<font color=purple>rP</font>a</font>i</font>n</font>9</font>9</font>]]'''</span>[[Image:DP99Majora.png]] 14:25, 27 January 2013 (EST)
+::We have [[camping]] and [[stalling]] though, both named with "ing"s because "camp" and "stall" by themselves are verbs in our context. In this case however, "spam" by itself can be either a verb or a noun. So I'm not sure which is better.

+:::Camping and Stalling don't really have noun forms, though. I'd say that "Spam" is the closest to a noun form and therefore the proper title. <span style="font-family:Triforce, sans-serif;">'''[[User:Dr. Pain 99|<font color=navy>D<font color=#190080>o<font color=#310080>c<font color=#490080>t<font color=#620080>o<font color=purple>rP</font>a</font>i</font>n</font>9</font>9</font>]]'''</span>[[Image:DP99Majora.png]] 14:33, 27 January 2013 (EST)
+::::In the context of Smash Bros, "spam" is almost always a verb, not a noun. "Spamming" is more common as a noun.

+::::::Except Anon is wrong an Spamming is never a noun. lol in the context of Super Smash Bros.? Super Smash Bros. doesn't change the rules of English. And in the context of Super Smash Bros., spam can be a noun just as much as it can be a verb or an adjective, whereas "Spamming" is ''never'' a noun. <span style="font-family:Triforce, sans-serif;">'''[[User:Dr. Pain 99|<font color=navy>D<font color=#190080>o<font color=#310080>c<font color=#490080>t<font color=#620080>o<font color=purple>rP</font>a</font>i</font>n</font>9</font>9</font>]]'''</span>[[Image:DP99Majora.png]] 17:49, 27 January 2013 (EST)
+:::::::Spam in this context is in the context of Smash Bros. Words clearly mean different things when applied to Smash. For example, the word [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gimp gimp] in normal English clearly is irrelevant to its definition on the wiki. I'd also like to point you to the term "[[griefing]]", which isn't even a [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/griefing word] in real life. "Spamming" never being a noun is also absurd; as a gerund it can function as either a noun or a verb. "Spam," used in the definition that is followed on the wiki, is never a noun. The wiki article is clearly not talking about canned meat or advertisements, which makes using "spam" as a noun here misleading in addition to bad grammar.

+::::[http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/camp Camp] does not have a noun form?
