Oh, that sucks! I know the part about no sales solicitation but missed the part about Tapas specific. I have been gone for a while and didn't realize the guidelines were updated to include that!
That is unfortunate since the Tapas creator/viewer community is so amazing it really can't be beat and the forum has for years been a fantastic place to talk all things webcomics, not just platform specific. I understand Tapas wouldn't want their community talking about their competition, but it's always seemed like a place to support the webcomic community in general.
Such is life and commerce.
A discord link would be great, thanks!
