I'm not quite sure what this Shameless Promotion forum is for; I submitted a well-written post about my (completely free to play) passion-project X-Isle, including some lovely screenshots, but it never appeared. Although I'm sure that quite a few of your members might enjoy the game, I'm not allowed to promote it here, on a forum called Shameless Promotion?

I suppose I'll resubmit it after I've replied to a couple of other threads, but I fail to get the point.

The point, I believe, is to allow our users to 'shameless promote' their projects, websites, clans, etc... The issue is that this has been abused by spam accounts who use bots to create accounts, spam messages, and will never participate in the community. So to combat this, certain places are restricted from thread (or even post) creation unless you've reached a certain post count.
