Other people can link to it if they think it contains something worthwhile, but linking to your own site ain't allowed.

This is a bad rule. It stifles the types of discussions that have become the niche of this forum while allowing anyone with a gimmick account to post their "friend's" site.

Once someone has XXX number of posts to establish they're not a spammer, they should be allowed to invite comments and criticism of their own site, at least in this forum. Nobody here with their adsense blog is taking revenue away from 2p2 or its advertisers. Driving posters away from the forum, however, is.
