Self-linking is a no-no
Self Link. This is the first FPP by .:DataWhat?:. which was preceded by three comments. Two of them reference the all music website in this FPP. Going to the user's own blog shows a preponderance of posts regarding the user's direct involvement with this all music place.
Petition-linking maybe not best-of-web, maybe self-linking
Sign my petition! It's generated a big discussion, but I'm thinking that maybe a link to a blog that links to a petition might not be mefi material, especially from someone who has an interest (1, 2, 3, 4, from the only other thread he's ever participated in) in getting people to go there. If it walks like a self-link and quacks like a self-link...
Can I post this?
Some friends of mine were stuck in a New Orleans during Katrina, and shot a documentary on HDV centering around the Superdome as shelter. They have a page up for the film, with a trailer and stills and whatnot. These are friends of course, and I've worked with them in the past, but I was not involved in this project. Would this be appropriate FPP material, or would it be dangerously close to a self-link? Or, for that matter, would a FPP about a movie trailer just suck to begin with?
Another self link
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.
this has to be one of the more entertaining self links in a while

Light your torch and sharpen your pitchfork
stupid viral marketing. Light your torch and sharpen your pitchfork.
I don't get it
Just so I, as a relatively new user, can understand: how exactly is this not a self-link, but my question was? (No hard feelings - I really would like to know.)
Selflinker alert
MetaWhoreFilter. Self-link to a (probably paid) article about some dumb whorehouse in Germany.
It's a selflinker gone wild
Self-Link Deletion
Can you get a post deleted because it is already posted on your own site? even though the post has good info and had a conversation started? post in question http://www.metafilter.com/mefi/45943
A terrible appropriation of the site to meet one user's needs
I think AxMe is not where poor posts go to die.
Blatant self-link seeming thing
This seems like a blatant self-link, whatever the poster might say. What say y'all? And should I just have flagged it and moved on?
I don't like the looks of this.
unrepentant self-link shivers me timbers
Arr Mateys - all ye hearty sea-dogs know me for a solid crewmember of the good ship "Flag and Move On" but an unrepentant self-link on Talk Like A Pirate Day is just too good to pass up. Perhaps the Good Captain can even leave the thread flapping in the wind a while, strung from the yard-arms, while we have our way with the pox-dripping dog and swive him from stem to stern?
Selflinking in comments: quitcher bitchin
I'm sorry to bring it up, but the thread regarding self-linking was closed, and no one made mention of it....
Self-Linker
Detroit Wonk got a shiny new MeFi login yesterday (member since: September 4, 2005) and has spent the time spamming the joint with self-links. This uninsightful worm has managed to shoehorn his SEO campaign into six out of his seven MeFi posts, thus far.
Is hosting someone else's content basis for a self-link?
Should this really have been deleted for self-linking? If you could link directly to video segments on CNN, then I'm sure the poster would have done that. Instead, he or she put the segments on his or her site, and linked to them that way. Maybe the post should have been deleted because it wasn't interesting enough, but that's another reason.
How can my father promote his New Orleans towboat pilot relief effort?
My father is attempting to start a New Orleans relief effort among towboat pilots (he is one himself). He's posted a "call to action" on his site, and I'd like to get the word out. I haven't posted it on the front page because it seems dangerously close to a self-link (and is just one editorial, really). Any suggestions?
Semi-self-link
Self-link. 'nuff said.

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?
Metafilter is not for pyramid scheme
It should be pretty obvious that stuff like this should not fly in the blue. Using this site as a quarry for pyramid schemes is inappropriate and action should be taken accordingly.
Is This a Self-Link?
I am thinking of posting this to metafilter. It's my brother's warblog.

I wasn't involved in the creation of this site (other than installing his blog software), but he is my brother. His deployment began today, and he started blogging.... So I thought "hey, a chance for people to start following from day 1, that's the best of the web, right?" Anyone have any thoughts?

Where's the line between being perceived as a shill and a real self-link?
lame-ass shill for some lame-ass shirts
I don't know what it was about this post that makes me suspicious. (Wait, it's the cafepress link.) I can't say for *sure* that this is a lame-ass shill for some lame-ass shirts. (more inside)
A grayish "may derive benefit" bracelet around here somewhere
I question the nature of this post.
Link suddenly disappeared
I am baffled by the sudden disappearance of a link to 63days.com - I am unable to find it by searching MeFi either. I was not the original poster, but found the link fascinating and am confused about its removal. Anyone know about this?
Would this link be against self-link etiquette or policy?
I wanted to create an FPP for this ten second film festival, which I think would be of interest to many MeFites, but I've run into a couple of ethical and logistical conundrums: 1) The festival is being run by a friend of mine, so I suppose I might be a little biased as to this being The Best of The Web. 2) You really have to be in the Twin Cities area to see the screening and win a prize, even though submissions are accepted from anywhere. Any thoughts about this being FPP worthy?
Should banned users' profiles reflect the reason for their status?
If a user is banned for blatantly violating the no-self-link rule, would it be a good idea to either a) note the banning on that person's user page or b) delete the user page entirely? Seems strange to keep a user page from someone who took a dump on the community.
Self-link? Or double post? Or a bit of both?
Self-link, it seems
Not Quite a Self-Link
There are some interesting goings-on at my university that I'd like to post about. However, they regard a service which is currently under my jurisdiction on student council. My name might appear in some of the links, but none of them are BY me. I also don't intend to specify who exactly I am. Would that be considered a self-link?
Self link and then purchased ads? Wha?
I hit the blue page the other day and saw a JUST POSTED story that was nothing more than a link to a page where you can buy a t-shirt with a design/slogan on it. (I'm not mentioning/linking-to which one it was because that isn't the purpose of this post). The FPP was deleted within minutes (from when I noticed it). However, today I see that it is listed in the Blogads on the front page. All is as it should be - I'm not complaining - I just think it is interesting that self-linkers apparently (sometimes?) get the opportunity to purchase an ad that they were trying to get for free.
Self-link, don'tcha think?
Actually I don't think this was his own website...
I don't think the site in this deleted thread belongs to the poster. The names don't match up, and neither do the writing styles. He just improperly quoted the phrase "The Goleta Air & Space Museum is just my web site." While not formatted very well, I think the link holds up to scrutiny.
a very unclear and contradictory message
This post was deleted for the following reason: plugging his own/friends site. Now wait a second: his or his friend's? The solution offered to not self-linking here has always been to have a friend post it for you. I think this sends a very unclear and contradictory message.
At least read the post before violating the main rule
If you are going to use MetaFilter to push your web site and agenda, at least read the freakin' post before you post your NSFW childish self links (on your first day as a member no less). Thank you.
Self-link detected.
They're clamoring for it, and here it is. This post contains a nakedly aggressive self-link. For shame, doc.
Salvage without the self-link
Delete the self-link and this post stands on its own.
Self-Link Ahoy!
The 2011 post leads to a paid-subscription only article and indirectly through the comments ends up being a self-link. I'm sure it's accidental, but it shouldn't be there.
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?
Banned anyway
A historical oddity: self-link gets a pass
I hate to say it, but: self link.

Read back through his comments on the original thread with this in mind, and the whole thing smacks of a self post.

Gratuitous self-link, or a legitimate part of the question?
Gratuitous self-link, or a legitemate part of the question?
It's not quite as bad as this one, since in this case the self-link has at least a theoretical connection to the question being asked, but it still feels to me more like bwerdmuller is hoping that "the best way to find new business fast" is to post a link to his own work on a popular forum and see if anyone bites.
Am I just being grumpy? Where should we draw the line on self-promotion within AskMe?

Is it OK to have one of the links be a self link to photos that relate to the post?
Question: Is it a self link to post your own photos of an event you had nothing to do with, except by your presence? I even discovered the event online.
It was awesome, but not on the web, does it become a self-link?
Here’s a conundrum - What if someone had something rather interesting fall into his lap that didn’t yet exist on the web, so that someone puts it up on the web... If that someone then wanted to share it with his fellow mefis (because many seem to share a similar sense of humour) and throw up a post/link on metafilter about it, would that be considered self-linking and taboo? Or does one have to find someone else to ghost post it, which seems kind of sneaky and deceptive? Or forget it altogether?
