Wow, a lot of people are overreacting to the 'be humble' moral.

They specifically mentioned that celebrating your accomplishments is natural. Anything else would be wildly hypocritical of them, given how Applejack always brings up how she's a great farmer, Rarity calls her designs 'genius', and even Fluttershy likes to mention she's good at caring for animals.

They aren't saying she can't sign autographs or have a fanclub (which is good, since she's going to get to the point where both are natural for her sooner or later). They were just afraid that if Rainbow spent *all day* talking herself up, she'd develop the kind of reputation she herself would hate - and it would take a lot longer to reverse that than to get over the very minor embarrassment she inflicted on herself.
