Part of the problem seems to be an inconsistency in mods' actions. Sometimes a blog-promotion post is moved. Sometimes it's allowed to stay. I think if someone has replied there's more of a chance of the latter, but I'm not even sure.

Why are any threads that say "I just wrote about X in my blog, here's a link, go read it" allowed in the Writer's Corner on MobileRead?

If someone wants to write about X, they should write a post about X. If someone wants to get discussion going on their blog, they should post in the self-promo area where blog promos are appropriate. Spamming up Writer's Corner with blog advertisements is defeating the entire purpose of not only those two sections but MobileRead itself, and allowing it to continue is unfair to the posters who do it the right way.
