If an author has to explain to his audience how good, how believable, how well thought out his world is, he has failed as an author.
Thank you Rich, I might take you up on it later, but I don't have a way to call international at the moment (I'm in Canada!)
But if you ever get a call from me I promise not to sell you too much real estate.
Your fan, Mike.

yeah, just as a heads-up, that whole 'put my book down as a signature' that everybody does on the amazon forums is really not something that you want to keep doing here.
That will get you banned eventually. Junior bans are also permanent, so you might want to get on that, stat. You already got a free promotion topic, leave it that and enjoy your stay.
Not backseat modding here. Just saying what others already should have.
I'll let this system do what it wants.

Rich feel proud. Sunhi is a legend.
Not even a teensy bit of decorum brother, sir?
Can you please point me to a stated policyon this site I'm violating? Can you please explain to me how my using my actual name in posts is spamming?
If not, I'll not respond further to any of these complaints. But, if the book is a topic of interest, I'll deal with those questions.

E. Self-Promotion and Spam
Do not create new threads promoting a product or service you have any involvement in, or paste PR materials for promotional purposes, or attempt to embed referral links in your posts to generate revenue. If an existing discussion is taking place directly involving something you are associated with, you may participate in order to answer questions, clarify details, and otherwise engage with the community, but as a person, not an advertisement.
I don't want to backseat mod, but since you asked:
I don't think providing my name and stating I'm the Rick Chapman who wrote the book is advertising.
Providing a link where you can read more about the book seems logical. Actually, most of the content at that link consists of reviews of other people's books and articles about self publishing.
Is there some sort of prohibition about me saying I'm the author of the book under description, using my name, and providing a link?

Two things:
1. If you want to reply to somebody, hit the "quote" button next to the post you are replying to. Putting the text in the title of the reply is awkward and hard to follow.
2. "Signing" your posts is generally frowned upon and can lead to your being banned. When someone clicks on your user name, they will be directed to your user profile. You can put links to your website or other information in your profile.
Alright, here's an obscure one. You can do this in Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon against Merchant-Hero X.

Here's a particularly bad example.
Rick, you don't even need to say your name at the end. Your name is attached to your post, so saying "-Xe4" or whatever is redundant, and frowned upon. Anyway best of luck here! I highly recommend reading the TOS, as you only get one account here, and it's very easy for a Junior to get perma-banned.
Edit: Sorry to backseat mod, (I'm not one nor ever will be), but I've seen people get banned for posting things without knowing it's not allowed.
So let me clarify. If I use my own name in a post, am I promoting?
If I say I am the author of the book under discussion, am I promoting?
Let's deal with those two first.

Yeah. I think I'll withdraw from this site. Something not quite right when the use of your own name is frowned upon. My name is not rickchapman. My name is Rick Chapman. I'm not Number Six, either.
Best of luck.
