I would also suggest that we clarify to new users, rather through policy or community message, exactly what is acceptable promoting of one's work verses what is spamming.

I say this because I do agree with Mystreve that it is the writer's job primarily to promote your own work. I certainly promote my stories through various avenues on social media, as well as at work and in my personal "offline" life.

However, I think a lot of people, especially new users, are unsure of exactly what constitutes tasteful promotion vs. outright spam or over saturation of one's products.

For this reason I feel like this should be officially defined on the site, so users can feel comfortable promoting their stories without fear of stepping outside of the rules.

I think we are on to something with the 'Writer's Showcase' concept as well. I feel like this would be a positive step in assisting writers in getting exposure, while still maintain our core values as a literature community.
