The only reason that spam 'myth' was invented is because when you type /clearspam it only clears the bricks that aren't on a baseplate. Also, why do we have to build on a baseplate again? |

While it may make spam clearing easier, the irony is that very principle just increases spam and creates less space. |

Spam is canned meat, and will always be canned meat. |
| Snaily:
I consider sloppy events (i.e. lots of named bricks, unnecessary event loops, etc.) spam as well, at least for my own event builds. |

Both examples the OP used can be justified. If you use 12 1x1x5s, then it could easily be for texture purposes, such as trying to get the effect of wood planks. I do this all the time in my western build. If you use 3 1x4x5s then it could be that it is easier to calculate measurements that way, like the the base you are using is 32x32. Or if you just don't want to have an uneven bit at the end. |
