Not at all. We have a introductions, publishing, workshop, critiques section for people to show off thier works.
What is annoying is spamming or joining without making a contribution other than to self promote, or self promoting in all of your posts, or being arrogant and saying "gee thats a good story but mine at such site is sooo much better"
What is especially irksome, and yes there have been people who do this, is posting a story in critiques or wherever that is a 'mask' for self promotion.....like blah blah story and you can read all my stories at blah site and I made this game at blah site....
We are not against self promotion, we just want it done with tact. If the first and only post is self promotion that offers nothing in return it will likely be removed with a warning.
On the other hand, you for example have been in several discussions and therefore if you posted something about a book you wrote or where you have been published I don't think we would consider it spamming self promotion.
