[2020] Question to devs

I'm totally fine with rules being discussed, if the community comes to a consensus that a rule needs to be changed, I can bring it up with Tynan. I might put up a poll, but it seems most people here have mixed opinions or are against changing this. I want to point out that this applies to me as well, I can't just post my twitch link or anything to self promote.

Originally posted by NRFBToyStore: It's just standard text saying no spamming. If you say "Hey, I actually covered that question on a vblog I did other day, you can check out at XYZ link". That's fine. Jumping into every discussion screaming "HEY! I"{M a STREAMER I STREAAAAM THE BEST YO U NEED TO CCHEEEEECK OUT MY STREAM CAUSE THAT IS AWESEOMEEEEE! STREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAM!"

That...that is why rule 5 exists. Also, Ludeon forums is run by the people who MADE the game, it has 10x more traffic than around here, heh.

This is exactly correct, if you work your channel in to normal conversation, it's 100% fine. It's the 'please watch my channel' as your only contribution or as a starting post, that violates the rule.

@brian_va also has it correct.

The real problem with this is that if we allow one person to make promotion threads in general, everyone else will, and soon the discussion board will be flooded with people spamming over their channels drowning out people here to talk.
