I can understand if some people think it is a bit spammy/promotional—especially as we have been trying promote it in some other EA venues as well. But, it is only a one off that at most we will do again next year
I’m with Tom here—I think this is a perfectly fine use of the forum for now. Perhaps if we get overrun with links like this, we would have to reconsider.
I don’t think being spammy in this way would be a good reason to downvote—there’s excellent grounds for wanting as many people as possible to vote for this, so ‘spamming’ in this way is worth it!
I didn’t find it spammy, but I don’t think this argument lines up. The opportunity cost of driving people away from the forum could be pretty high, so wanting as many people as possible to vote isn’t enough to conclude it’s worth posting.

Yep, the question is whether it would drive many people away, which I don’t think that it would, though it’s quite hard to tell.
