Should "Self-Promoting" be allowed? Yes...
The current "no self-promotion" rule is vague, which leaves it open to interpretation. As a result, posts—mine included—often get removed because they’re seen as self-promotion. But let’s be real: everyone acts out of self-interest. At the end of the day, every post promotes something—whether it’s ideas, authority, or personal value. Right now, we’re in a strange situation where people want to promote themselves as much as possible while trying to make it seem like they’re not. It creates confusion, inconsistency, and frustration. On one extreme, if we allow self-promotion, every post becomes a sales pitch. On the other, if we remove everything that could be seen as self-promotion, there would be no posts at all—because in reality, everything is self-promotion to some degree. We need a common ground—a 50/50 balance. Let people promote themselves, but not to the point where it turns into spam. I think if you share actionable insights, solutions, or knowledge that benefit others without asking for something in return, it’s acceptable. P.S to keep it clear my self-interest when make this post, is to stop getting my posts deleted, so I'm biased
