I want to warn anyone who reads this post NOT to post a nomination request on the community forums on KDP. Since everyone had recommended that I look at Lincoln Cole and Tom Swyer I searched those boards and saw they, and many others, had asked for nominations. So, I posted mine. I was just notified by KDP that I am banned from posting on the boards because of my request. You are not allowed to "solicit" the KDP members in any form. So, learn from my mistake. Don't do it.
Vintage Amazon reaction: ignore something for months, then randomly ding someone for it. I've seen several people go through their whole campaigns with a solicitation thread on the KDP forum.
At least you got an email. The other day, I tried to post and discovered I was banned. I sent customer service an email questioning the decision, since all my posts have been innocuous (unless they were going back months to when I joined a Scout promotion thread). I never got an answer, but when I tested again, the ban had been lifted.
I sometimes think being banned by the KDP forum is actually a favor. This is a much better place to spend time, anyway. I've hung onto the KDP forum because there are a few good posters there who've never shown up here, but I'd actually make better use of my time if I didn't.
