Self Link?
GiveWell, or Give 'em Hell?
Is This Transparency? OP with very slim, one-year posting history asks a question about finding a good charity in AskMe, just prior to year-end tax-decision time. Newly registered responder posts a newly formed charity-aggregator/evaluator organization, without mentioning that he is, apparently, one of the two founders. Self-promotional setup leading to self-link? Or am I being too cynical?

No guessing required: this is a callout
Is tombola breaking the guidelines by posting a blog post from a site for which he is an editor? [more inside]
Do callouts have a shelf-life?
I'll probably regret it, but I guess this is a callout. [more inside]
Pitchforks?
This post links prominently to this URL, (which redirects to this Blogspot site). A rudimentary glance at the source code reveals a rather obvious favicon icon almost certainly belonging to this first-time poster.

Self-Linking Callout
kirkaracha might need to be reminded of the "no self-link" policy.
Self-link
Evidence
Personally, I think it's a relevant and useful link, but I don't think it should be up to the poster to make the judgment call, do you?

Self-link. Don't link to things you're involved with.

Self Link on the Blue
55335 on the blue is a self-link (I'm deliberately not linking to it), anyone know how to contact a mod? Are they asleep? It's especially irritating because it's a self-link to a crap site about "marketing and making money on the web". Also, how about a feature that allows a user to self-revoke posts for a certain amount of time (like 10 minutes) if they realize or learn it was a bad idea.
Possible self-linker? Turns out no.
Is this setting off anybody else's self-link-dar? 8 comments to the 'Filter and one answer to AskMetafilter, no profile information, and she favorites her own not-particularly-interesting post?
nearly every one of cleverusername's FPPs contains, somewhere in it, a link to The Escapist.
For instance, nearly every one of cleverusername's FPPs contains, somewhere in it, a link to The Escapist. It's true. Check it out.
Here's some self-linking coming.
Here's some Pepsi Blue/self linking coming down the pipe for ya...
Civilization Vs. The Middle Ages
Civilisation Vs. The Middle Ages. This has got to be a self link. A single link to a 'framing' post on a blog with two posts and a miss-spelled title (and you know it's bad if I notice something being misspelled), all by someone who posted a handful of comments from over a year ago wherein he called for the execution of both Hugo Chavez and Cindy Sheehan.
Egregious self-linking
And the award for most obvious self-linker goes to ...
This appears to be a Self-Link
This appears to be a Self-Link, both in tone and because the poster has the site listed as their homepage.

Callout of self-link by known spammer in FPP
Self-link Callout
I'm pretty sure this post about nuvvo.com is a self-link.
An interesting combination of sleazy and forthright
Vigilance
You have got to be joking? No. Considering the number of self-links that we've been having lately, I think that it's worth everyone's time to appreciate people who are keeping their eyes open for them, and to give them credit for trying, even if that particular link turned out to be a dud.

Self-link ahoy
This is the second time RonZ's linked to komar.org. The first time was to the halloween lights display and this time it's the christmas lights. If I recall correctly, the original poster of the christmas lights thing was outed as a self linker (although I can't find the thread) so I suspect it's a sock puppet at work.
Self-link. 'nuff said.
Self link, with proofs
Owner of FPP'ed Flickr set: "I'm 19." FPP author: "Age: 19" Inconclusive. Likely coincidence.
Owner of FPP'ed site: "Copyright 2005 Aaron Wynn & William Wynn." (google cache) FPP author: "Aaron Wynn" (home page) Conclusive. Enough.

Linking to your own Livejournal as a news source: deceptive?
Using breaking disaster news threads to post deceptively authoritative-looking self-links to Livejournal updates: threat or menace?
Self-link detected.
They're clamoring for it, and here it is. This post contains a nakedly aggressive self-link. For shame, doc.
Self-Link Callout
I know someone has posted a self-link as a FPP and hasn't identified it as such (he has also done it in comments). I think it is because he wants to keep his anonymity. I don't want to out him, but at the same time I think it isn't right to post a link to a site that is your own (esp. without disclosure). Should I just email him to let him know I know? Should I email Matt directly about it? Thoughts on how best to handle?
Self-linker on Metafilter
The guidelines say: Self-linking also appropriates the use of MetaFilter as your guestbook...
So why is this still here?
So why is this still here?
oh hey, that was on MY blog!
so, fpatrick is browsing, finds a great link and posts it to mefi, giving proper credit to the site where he just happened to stumble on this great link. wow. how fortunate is that?
Is this the way to do self-links?
This thread is interesting to me, because I've held off posting similar content, for fear of reprisal and bandwidth usage. Is there an appropriate way to post 'discovered' content without having the MeFi Hall Monitors yell "SELF LINK! SELF LINK!"?
Two self links in one post.
Two self links in one post. And they're kind of creepy, to boot. Not a particularly auspicious beginning for the 16K club.
How did this self-link get through?
Blatant self-link. How is it not obvious that this is not okay?!?
"Winer exception"
Is there some sort of "Winer exception" to the Mefi Prime Directive? I sure hope not...
Self-links in comments.
has bonzo gone too far? three of four posts have been self-links, and now this comment....
