For example, if an author digs up a dead thread that is only tangentially related to their book and uses it to say "Here, because you like X, you'll love my book." OR in a thread discussing cheap, but worthwhile reads, adds a post saying "Hey, my book just got released for $2.99!"

It just seems tacky for an author to recommend their own work.
