Okay, I don't want to sound like an idiot, but it's probably too late for that.
According to the rules, you're not allowed to self promote.
Okay, so I didn't make a signature with my youtube channel in it.
Now, I see some people.. actually a lot of people.. including famous people (who gained fame by this website) have their channels in their signatures.
Now, isn't this considered self promoting? And what's more.. if it is.. why is it so rampant?
I understand Pewds is allowed, because duh, senpai.. but what of others? For example JackSepticEye has done it.. granted he hasn't logged in for nearly 3 years.
I have been tempted to do this myself now.. because I have ignored people doing it who have made like only one post on the site.. but then I see people with as many posts as me or even much higher (which means they get seen on the forums more frequently.. therefore have a higher chance of being "yelled at" for self promoting) have their YouTube links in their sigs.
Now I do not see self promoting anywhere else on the site.. (maybe due to not digging hard enough) unless it's in a shoutout contest like the one currently being done via the intro thing. So does that mean it's allowed for sigs but not anywhere else on the site except for special cases?
Would I be shunned for putting my YouTube link in my sig when countless others have done so already?
