No one is twisting your arm and I wouldn't even if I could.

It won’t help your cause to call people “irritating.” Even if the criticism isn’t constructive, learn from it or ignore it.
Also, this place is not just for
your promotion. There are other authors here trying to promote their work and there are readers trying to find deals. If there is a potential problem with any promotion, it needs to be considered. This is a friendly place where people come to find deals of all sorts. It was not placed here simply to suit any particular author’s needs or expectations.
Again, I’m not sure if this one hour deal is a good idea or not. I do know that if authors start showing up every three days to announce their next “60 minute sale” this forum is going to be as useful as Twinkies to a nutritionist.
