From a quick glance, 6 of the first 10 threads in Writer's Corner are book advertising, as are nearly all of the recent posts in Deals, and they turn up just about everywhere else, too.

I think there's a lot of confusion, and some of that could be sorted by making another subforum - and being VERY clear about where to put promotional items.
See, you're implying that the Writers' Corner isn't an appropriate place to advertise, but the forum description says:

... so when I first wandered onto these forums, that's where I made mention of my first ebook. And then, if I remember rightly (it was a while ago), a mod suggested I post in the Deals and Freebies area too
KindleBoards have a similar rule to what WW suggests - the only problem is then making sure that people follow it - the mods have a SPREADSHEET containing authors, books and the last post made. EEP?
Cripes, I'm not one of the people you particularly have in mind, am I? I know I've been rabbiting on about my latest book (NOW AVAILABLE AT - oh, right, yeah
), but only where I expect people to join in the cheering - and one little thread in Deals...
