'''Spamming''' is when a player repeatedly fires their weapon in the hope of hitting an enemy player while utilizing little or no tactical consideration or skill. Spamming may also refer to the act of doing something repeatedly which may be legitimate, such as repeatedly laying down [[Sappers]] on an enemy building within a short period of time, or annoying, such as spamming the server with repeated chat messages or voice commands.
 
 
 
Spamming is often associated with [[Soldier]]s and [[Demoman|Demomen]] due to the nature of their primary weapons, though patches to these classes' ammo capacity has reduced this problem somewhat.
 
 
 
It is not to be confused with:
 
 
 
*Laying down suppressive fire to prevent entry into an area.
 
*Searching for cloaked [[Spy|Spies]] by firing randomly.
 
*Standing next to a Dispenser firing continually to achieve the above.
 
*Continuously sapping an enemy building in order to destroy it.
 
 
 
This technique is considered to be annoying to some players due to its perceived effectiveness without required skill.
