this would be even better if kickstarter still refunded backers but not defunders if they kept the project below it's target

Same way it's tricky to ask if Google or YouTube or any other hosting entity should remove content based on [name your reasons]. I didn't say it was wrong to say "yes, pull this vile poo poo off Kickstarter," just that there's an interesting debate or discussion to be had about what the right thing is to do.

I'm a survivor too.

i meant in terms of enough people actively giving kickstarter poo poo about it so that they have to make a change and it wont be forgotten in a few weeks, thats certainly promising though

it would be interesting to see if anybody important closes their campaigns. i know ive pulled out of the one thing i was kickstarting and im going to avoid it in the future; anything id actually be interested in usually puts up separate paypal options up anyway. and ive seen other people do the same thing. the problem is kickstarter is where the money is right now and kickstarter knows it.

quote:

“All the greatest seducers in history could not keep their hands off of women. They aggressively escalated physically with every woman they were flirting with. They began touching them immediately, kept great body language and eye contact, and were shameless in their physicality. Even when a girl rejects your advances, she KNOWS that you desire her. That’s hot. It arouses her physically and psychologically.”

probably not

not a law-talking-type-person but i'm going to guess their contract terms currently don't allow them to defer payment pending investigation once the funding period ends, hence their reference to the time involved, and their lawyers couldn't make a decision quickly enough

if that's the case they'll probably change the tos to allow them to defer payment in these circumstances because even if they don't give a poo poo about this it's got some fairly nasty ramifications for them in the future

We started the film in November of 2013 with a small kickstarter of $1000, to make a short film documentary A JUGGALO STORY. As the few months of filming, I realized I have a masterpiece and so did a few other people. $1000 is not enough money to make a fresh money. A really well done film that worth the time. It is turning from a short film to two epic documentary of the misunderstand family of misfists. DMP presents, Matt The Dragan and Melinda "Moo" on their journey to meet with the underground family known to the FBI and United States Polices forces as "violent" gang. They are two juggalos trying to prove to the world that you cannot call someone who likes a genre of music, gang members.

italics are my own emphasis

they're from the future, where they already got $1k, figured out it couldn't fund their heroin addiction, and decided to just go ahead and post it again
