Can there be a no self promotion rule?

It seems like every few months you get a new person spamming GD with their youtube channel and getting massively downvoted each time. The worst case of this I saw was zkox cause that was just a straight plague on boards for a while. More recently is Nubrac who seems to have been nice enough to stop his semi-daily posts.

The only positive self promotion I've ever seen on boards is Chickenwrap, but I haven't seen him stream post recently anyway

I don't like the idea of banning self-promotion, but having limitations on it would be good

  1. No more than one self-promotion post a day

  2. Bumping a self-promotion post falls under 1

This way, if there is genuine interest in what you are doing, your self-promotions will remain noticeable. Otherwise, they should fall off.

Self promotion can be healthy if done properly. Think about college esports for example, if a college coach comes onto the boards but isn't allowed to promote his/her program, how are they expected to recruit players efficiently and effectively?

:D

FWIW, it's been life issues. As soon as things settle down in my area, I'll be right back to Streamposting and annoying everyone with it again. Also, can I ask why you think that?
