Alright, let's take a look at the spam rule.
Spam
Point Value: 1 point
Definition: "A post containing no value, including off-topic posts or posts which derail threads."
With the advent of the "+1" system a "me too"/"i agree" post with no purpose or further elaboration of it's own in a discussion thread would also be considered spam as would "reaction" images.
Additional Comment: The word "derailing" here implies a train wreck sort of situation, not necessarily that the topic of the thread changed. Minor side tangents are not a violation of this rule unless the whole thread is impacted, or a request to return to the primary topic has been made and ignored.
More specifically, that bit before the additional comments.

Of late there have been far too many otherwise good people getting infracted for this. Please remember to not just post a reaction image. It's fine if you're responding to one post or one part of a post with a reaction image and then responding to a different post or continuing to respond to another part of a post. Reaction images by themselves are spam.
Thank you.
