Intentional spamming is defined as posting line after line of random characters or obnoxious/obsence words and phrases. Get caught doing this and you will be banned.
Intentional spamming is defined as posting line after line of random characters, obnoxious/obsence words and phrases or repeating chat emote icons excessively. Get caught doing this and you will be banned.
Unintentional spamming is, more often than not, committed by players new to the chat channels and is a bit harder to spot... if you are the one doing it. Others, however, will not be so slow to identify unintended spamming. Oftentimes, unintended spamming is created by a player's excitement over something they wish to share with the channel.

A good rule of thumb is to look at the chat and see if your posts are considerably more numerous than everyone elses. If so, do your posts talk about things that others in the channel are most likely interested in? If not... it's probably going to be viewed as spam.

You may or may not realize you are unintentionally spamming the channel. Know that if you DO post line after line of rambling conversation, there will be most likely as many players in the channel as those who will yell at you for being an asshat. If someone warns you that you are spamming, STOP. Failure to do so may cause those in channel to look on you unfavorably.
