Why do people consider non-baseplate builds spam?

Please explain what you meant by that. If an argument is based on opinion, saying "just because" is a lazy way of trying to win.

The Earth is obviously flat, whats wrong with you?

Personally, I disable script_clearspam. People just put their spam on a baseplate.
LoserHero:
I think it helps with clean up and duplicating/alligning builds. So as a rule, build on a baseplate. It's pretty much become a standard.
stuntman021:
I can understand preferring to build on a baseplate, and with citybuilds, yeah, but for just random freebuilds, why try to restrict creativity? Confining builds to a baseplate forces them to be square or look off.

Bingo!
Have you ever tried to wand and/or hammer 100+ of someone else's non-baseplate bricks in order to save certain good builds?
In the old days admins had to delete spam by hand, we didn't have scripts to do it for us and as a result the baseplates rule evolved and stayed around like a stubborn mule.
Basically stop complaining and think of a creative way to build a circular thing on a baseplate.
Also, you didn't take any count of latency (net) lag in those tests which is what most people look out for.
