Promoting your own band is a prerogative of members who have been here and contributed for a reasonable amount of time. The MB community isn't hostile in general, except towards promotion because it clutters the forums. If we let one person promote their band/label/site we have to let everyone else do it and the forum just ends up being a cesspool of single post spam threads with the actual discussion buried beneath. There are countless people each week who register, spam their way to 15 posts, post a link to their band and never return again.
