OK to post link to conference video I produced? August 24, 2011 8:14 AM Subscribe
A video pertinent to a MeFi post came from a conference I run. Can I post it?
This post references a Slate article about getting a cartoon published in the New Yorker. A conference I run featured a session with New Yorker cartoonists talking about their work, and even drawing some cartoons live on stage - here's the video. Is this OK to include in a comment, given that it was at my event (and I appear in the video)? I'm assuming not but thought I'd ask.

Yeah, the self-link rule applies to main page posts. In a comment, you're welcome to say "oh hey, here's this other thing about the subject from the company I run" if it adds to the discussion, without it sounding too spammy.

If you continue to sound spammy after more than 4 hours, please post an AskMe on whether or not you need to see a doctor.

Do these links make my ass look spammy?

The audio on the link is almost non existent.

Hmmm. It's very existent for me. Is your volume down?

Spoiler alert: you do. You also need to leave your significant other and get a lawyer, an accountant and a therapist. The good news is, it's probably OK to eat that.

When putting a relevant self-link in a comment, please acknowledge in said comment that it is a self-link. That, in my book, makes it totally cool. Can't recall any cases where this was not done, but if I later found out that someone had self-linked and not mentioned it, that would feel uncomfortably spammy. Hope that this is the policy and, if so, wish that the faq was more explicit about this.

It's pretty much what we expect people to do, yeah. If someone isn't explicit about a disclaimer but it's otherwise pretty clearly not sketchy, that's not a great big deal but if it keeps happening we're gonna drop 'em a line. Sketchy stuff gets action a whole lot quicker.
