kitsumirae I'm a forum moderator. RJMidnight summed it up pretty well. Check out that link he posted.
"Anyone interested in fanfics? Please check out this book if you're interested." and "Anyone interested in my books?" is self promotion, and thus prohibited. As a result, they will be locked.
yaoyueyi Okay. I didn't know that. I've seen people promoting their books here though.

kitsumirae Then, you should report them with a ping to me, and I will promptly go and lock and delete those promotion threads. I moderate them within 24 hours of receiving a report.
And do note there's a difference between promoting your book on the official, designated thread/recommending your book to a reader who asked for it and creating a self promotion thread. The former are allowed; the latter is not.
yaoyueyi I see. Then, can you help me with something. For some reason WN is not letting me have an Author Badge. I asked my friends about it but they didn't know what's the problem is. I've published 500+ words but still i haven't received it. Do you know the reason?
kitsumirae Sorry, this information has not been programmed into my system. Please refer to service@webnovel.com with an email for help.

yaoyueyi Really? You're kidding right?
yaoyueyi Understood. Can you give me advice on how to promote my book better.

Review swaps are not allowed on the pinned monthly promotion thread. The thread is only for promotion. There is a designated thread for review swapping. Promoting your novel twice is also not allowed. Since you have been previously warned for a similar offense, your account has been temporarily suspended for 7 days. Please read the first post in the pinned promotion thread to understand the rules. Repeated offense may lead to a permanent suspension of your account.
Repeatedly posting your novel on the monthly promotion thread is not allowed. You are only allowed to post your novels there once a month, once per novel. Your posts have been deleted. Please read the first post in the pinned promotion thread to understand the rules. Repeated offense may lead to a suspension of your account.
