When you first start a thread, it's not 'pinned' and it sits at the bottom of the list of threads in that topic. A moderator checks your thread to make sure it's not spam, and that it's in the right forum, and then 'pins' it. Once it's pinned, it moves to the front of the list.

It's surprising how much spam people try to post. Checking every thread seemed to be the way to catch most of it.
If you come across something you think is spam in the middle of a thread, please use the "report" button that is at the bottom left of every post to let the moderators know that it needs to be removed.

Cookies are small files that a website places on your computer. When you return it looks to see if the cookie is there. This is generally how a website knows who you are when you return to it. The pro is that your websurfing can become more tailored to you. The con is that anytime someone else puts stuff on your computer there is a risk. There are more detailed explainations but that is the general idea.
Spam is unwanted messages either via e-mail or postings on a message board. Think of it as the equivalent of junk mail. Obviously some people like it and respond or it would cease to be effective (but as cheap as it is to send an e-mail, there doesn't have to be much of a response).
