Oh, jesus effing crisp. If you can't see that the 30/30 rule is applied to those spamming, I don't know what else to tell you.
If a link is a citation, it's going to be allowed; if it's there to promote yourself, we won't allow it before the 30/30. Even then, it's annoying as fuck because we're a discussion forum, not a forum in which everyone can promote their own shit. We aren't in the business of directing people to other sites.
The OP spammed a bunch of people via PM and on the board by promoting his own shit. He can wait it out and become an upstanding member, as have a lot of people here. If he chooses not to, he won't be allowed to promote his brand. It's really simple.
