Allowing limited promotional content to attract talent.

Hello all. I'm quite new to this forum and before my brain is cemented as far as this site goes I'd like to bring in my outsider's perspective.
If this forum allowed a reasonable amount of self promotion including links without no-follow-tags there would be a lot more business talent using the forum. Talented business people are not going to spend their time here unless it's worth it financially in one way or the other. We're all pursuing our own financial interests here, or did I miss something.
Hope to hear what you all think.

Thanks,
Robert
