Promotion Problems (rock, single, quotes, band, Hang)

Theres no way to disallow it. You can't filter who can join by asking them a question like "Do you plan on shamelessly promoting yourself out of place?" and expect people to say "Oh, I'm not allowed to, so I wont". The problem is people DONT care. The only quasi-solution is to give Moderators power to delete members and delete and lock threads, under well-warranted reasons. I agree with you, there is a problem here. Thats what happens to a forum as it gets more popular, it falls under the radar of promoters, who are for honest to god only trying to help themselves. Even though its not to be done here.
