    Quick question--- cause I couldn't find anything searching through the forums--- What are your rules regarding self-promotion on the forums?

    I am working on a screenplay/graphic novel with the goal of making the best Star Wars script... since the originals :)

    I obviously want to adhere to your rules, so I figured I'd ask first:

    Can I include links to my twitter or website in any posts?

    I mainly want to make a post around the idea of "what do you want from star wars?" and I want to mention what I'm doing... because I want it to be really good... and us fans have some of the best ideas.

    Thanks,​

    You can include a link on you profile in the Information box
    But not on any of your posts posts

    @Addi Ras, just checking ('cause I totally did this a little while back and now wonders if I broke any rules): Is it all right to post self-promo in your own profile posts? Or are thos considered "post-posts"?

    Your Profile posts are fine as that is part of your profile although I wouldn’t spam the profile post with links as that would then break our rules of spamming as no one want to log on & find the recent profile update list taken over by one user.

    Got it. List once whenever new content/relevant info materializes. Don't repost the same plug 18 times a day (as people tend to do on Facebook). Inform rather than spam.

    Also, here's BB-8 (bb-8)
