Granted, I'm not a mod here, and my opinion means nothing.
But I always felt (and act where I am a mod) based on the intent as well. Intent is a real key issue when it comes to "spam".
I see many meaningless posts that don't fall under the spam category. On the other hand, it is usually very clear when a person is just posting to up their post count
Now, I'm not a mind reader, so intent is indeed a slippery slope when one is guessing. But I think it helps define true spam.
