Might that be because you don't have many posts yet? I recall reading that self-promotion is frowned upon by new people to the site, in an effort to deter those who have no interest in the Chronicles but just want to plug their own stuff. For those who are genuine members, it's a different matter. Fifteen posts is, I think, the minimum number for linking to another site, so it might well be the same for self-advertisements.
Spread yourself around a bit and try again in a few weeks' time, perhaps.

Thanks for the suggestion. Nice to hear from a sane member.
For information...
I've only been on here for a few weeks and not had time to devote to the forum except for occasional moments here and there.
Have contributed healthily, and moderately to several interesting threads (go on, have a read, I'm sure you'll enjoy my few writings).
Have been busy with work, clients and fund-raising efforts for my film and TV projects, which I would happily told everyone on here all about.
And have been too busy to keep fully up-to-date with everything.
And I'm not the kind to throw thousands of one-liners out to clock up the maximum rating - I prefer few words, well chosen.
I have never posted links to the story out of full respect for all the membership and the rules.
I have never posted links to the site.
I have posted an announcement in the Press Releases section because this is where aspiring writers are positively encouraged to post such.
Now of course I have the fundamental dilemma - to post or not to post.
If I post anything it could be interpreted as spam, automatically disqualifying me from the forum and the membership from enjoying my contributions.
This is what's so frustrating when I don't even know what caused the perception of contravening the rules.
Of course I could just keep totally quite, read everything, write nothing. Who, thought, would benefit from loosing out on my few words of great wisdom?
Hence... "Grrrrrr!"
