<p>Some of you must be wondering this by now, given that I have had to edit/delete a few questions/comments by some of of you or suspend or delete you. </p>
<p>So what is up? </p>

<p>I prefer to use a light a touch on PaleoHacks as possible. However, some of you (you know who you are) have barged into PaleoHacks and started promoting your own business/project/etc etc</p>
<p>There is definitely a subjective, hazy line here between self-promotion that adds value to the community and self-promotion that looks, walks and quacks like spam. If I see the latter, I will delete it and suspend your account. </p>
<p>Note: I have no glib definition for spam-self-promotion - like pornography, I know it when I see it. Use your judgment. </p>
<p>I am not knee-jerk against self-promotion - but what does "get my goat" is when someone joins PaleoHacks and within 24 hours starts selfishly pushing their stuff. </p>
<p>Don't do it. There are a lot of great, smart people on PaleoHacks who have their own stuff they would love to promote, but don't, out of respect for the community. </p>
<p>Thanks and now back to your regularly scheduled programming. Keep being awesome. </p>
<p>PS I have updated the PaleoHacks FAQ here: <a href="http://paleohacks.com/faq" rel="nofollow">http://paleohacks.com/faq</a></p>

<p>You know who you are. </p>

"Check out my new website/blog post/article." Even if you make it look like a question "Can you provide me feedback for my blog/website/article?" it is not OK.</p>
<p>I will delete them and suspend you for at least a day.</p>
