[wp-forums] self-linking rules?

[andrea_r]

I think it's generally fine as long as the person isn't solely linking 
to their own posts.

If the only posts from any individual are ones that link just to their 
stuff, then it's obvious they're there for promotional reasons, you know?

But not because I deliberately wanted to drive traffic to my site (after all, my site is listed in my profile), but because I'm too lazy to cut and paste the article.
