This is purely academic (I’m not doing anything with Kickstarter, probably ever) but when I noticed a recent thread that mentioned a person’s Kickstarter side, that was immediately shut down, I got to wondering.
Twickster’s mod note cited the user agreement about not posting things that qualify as spam, but the cite doesn’t mention the Marketplace forum.
I believe the poster in question wouldn’t be eligible for Marketplace anyway (as I seem to recall the rules say you have to be a paid member, vs. a guest).
So I guess the question is: would a paid-up member be able to use Marketplace to talk up their Kickstarter endeavor?
“Yes” was a correct answer, but clearly over-terse.
The full answer is “Yes, paying members may post Kickstarter solicitations in Marketplace if they have gotten prior moderator approval to be sure they’re not advocating murdering babies or other unsavory endeavors.”
If you have a Kickstarter and would like to post it in Marketplace, send a link and the info to any member of the staff; we’ll discuss on the mod loop and get back to you ASAP.
