You aren't kidding, they are making a new post each minute it seems

[Leyelle]

lol yeah, I'm tryna promote my novel before the contest ends, I started soooo late

[Leyelle]

tru nuff bro, i'm racing against the clock lol

[RedLenai]

We get it but making 15 threads in a row is basically spamming and against Forum Etiquette/Guidelines regarding Spam, its not very nice to other users to log in and just see a bunch of promotional threads with the same goal and that only pushes down other's topics...

We get it, you want to win, but... I hardly doubt that's gonna happen if you promote in a place that doesn't have readers, here are mostly creators that are busy making their own stuff, and many others of them only care about inflating their numbers therefore putting you in a sub x sub situation or simply taking advantage of your spamming to self-promote themselves.

[Leyelle]

did i do fifteen in a row?

[KevinReijnders]

19 actually, but who's counting haha

[Leyelle]

ahh, if somebody could link me to the part of the forum rules that points that out I'd appreciate it because I didn't see that. I just thought I'd make some interesting challenges for other creators

[Leyelle]

beyond wanting to win, I'd like to make fun promotion methods for everybody, but thanks for the note, cuz i didn't see that on the forum rules.

[RedLenai]

The thing is that... it does look like a challenge but its easy to see by the amount of threads that's not the actual goal.

Forum Guidelines

FAQ

There are some other communal etiquettes / coexistence unspoken rules. Here one is a good example from when someone asked about forum etiquette:

There are already a lot of promotion threads with activities and such that people spam with their series constantly. Its ok if you create one by bit, be it one new activity per month, not several within a day, otherwise it will still be seen as spam or taking advantage of an activity just to self-promote yourself more than support others, and it does make you part of the problem with the promotion threads that users already expressed several times.

[Leyelle]

But, I thought the whole point of the promotions section was to promote stories in different ways? Excuse me if I did it wrong, because I'm new to this platform as a whole, but isn't the promotion section specifically for use promoting stories?

[KevinReijnders]

Yes, but making 19 threads promoting yourself and the same story is a bit much. No matter how differently you phrase the promo, in the end the goal is the same.

Clearly you can see how that is spammy in nature no?

Like RedLenai said, the promo threads are kinda annoying as is, with a lot of people posting the same link to 50 threads at the same time clogging up the forum. Adding a new one every minute is hardly necessary.

[Leyelle]

fair enough, do you know how you can delete a thread you started?

[RedLenai]

Only way is to ask a mod to close it, or wait for it to be inactive for 30 days and it'll close on its own. (If I recall correctly, this is also mentioned in the Guidelines)
From what I can see, you already have some threads with no replies, it won't take much to either be buried down by both other topics or even more promotions threads that are being replied to.

[Leyelle]

okay, thanks, i'm not trying to be a spammer, or mess up the system. i knew that you could wait for it to close automatically but saw nothing about closing it.

their name is psychoborg? that's interesting, their parents must have been hippies

[Leyelle]

@joannekwan i 'm new to the forum and made too many threads, I'm not tryna be a spammer so if you could close this for me I'd really appreciate it. Tysm in advance, I'll be more careful from now on now that I understand more how the forum works

[joannekwan]

You know, you have posted a lot of threads. But they are all very different in their topics and you've created novel ways for others to promote.

So I'll just leave them up since you've learned your lesson.
