I understand the 'self promotion' ban, though I can assure you I am not the OP nor do I know any way of getting in touch with her because I don't know who she is. My question was here to begin with just because "ban" seems like a bad word lol, I was just curious as to why they were associated with it. I'm also confused about "self link" and the definition of that. For example, if I were to copy and paste the link to their video from YouTube, and use it here, is that "self promotion"? Or is it "sharing". (Which I assume sharing is ok?) I will look through twitter and some of the other Fansites for the band and see if I can find a "KellyMML" because I know for a fact none of the fans would be intentionally doing something that would link MML to breaking rules somewhere, especially with the video that he or she shared.
No worries about the confusion, it looks as though someone was helping out with promo on release day (which WAS October 20th) and probably didn't read the rules the way they are suppose to. I personally run one of their street teams and do google searches all the time to see if the fans on MY personal team are promoting the way they agree to. I don't see any other posts or threads from "KellyMML" so I'm assuming it was a "post and go" type behavior, which I also tell fans to shy away from. I prefer them to form a relationship with the members of the communities they are sharing with in an effort to get to "know" the band rather than make them look like spammers.
Thank you for all the information and now that I've found this site I may use it more often lol.
I WOULD however like to know the details on self-linking vs. not? Still a little confusing to me.
