nerfed refers to when the devs find an area/item/skill in the game that is being abused or is to powerful. such as the spirit Natures Renewal, the skill was too powerful the way that some people figured out how to use it, so the description was changed.

Spamming is when you use the same skill over and over and over and over again in order, as soon as its recharged, you cast it again.

ROFL mean "rolling on the floor laughing"

Look here next time: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=149

NERFED: the call for or the act of reducing the effectiveness of a skill.
ROFL: Rolling On the Floor Laughing
ROF: Reversal of Fortune ( a monk spell )
SPAMMING: the act of using 1 or 2 spells over and over again due to it's quick recharge time OR the repeated text messaging in a chat channel.
