OMG. You didn't mass-report NMI for being abusive?

(dupe)

Wow... really? And PB's meanwhile is not under revision? Talk about slanted standards there...

It's ok to rip off 5,000+ people... but it's not ok for them to express their anger about it.

In a more perfect world, having piles of backers all get reported back to back would trigger a deeper look by Kickstarter and a team of elite assault lawyers.

But obviously we don't live in that more perfect world.

Though it does make me wonder when my slap on the wrist will show up.

Huh. Can't post comments, but I'm going to bet that Kickstarter will still accept my money for another project over the next week.

???

Which part? Like most of the world I've been temporarily banned for not smiling while giving Kevin a Ruiz.

However, in their infinite generousness, I'm expecting that our friends at Kickstarter will still let me contribute money to projects over the next week.

Yup. I'm sure KS will happily take your money, even if they silence you.

yeah noticed a lot of posts on the kickstarter got deleted.

And yet NMI wasn't sanctioned... That's shady AF. >.>

But why would he be sanctioned? Swearing is a bad thing. Being a thief? Totally cool.

A LIAR and a thief.

Oh, and for those seeking lulz:

"We have a dedicated Integrity team that monitors the system for suspicious activity. This team screens reports that are sent to us by our community and they take action if they find something that does not align with our rules.

It's important to remember that Kickstarter is built on an all-or-nothing funding system. No one is charged until a project meets its funding goal and the funding period ends. This gives backers time to fully evaluate a project, and it also gives our Integrity team some time to look into any concerns raised by backers."

That of course only applies before the end of the Kickstarter and the detailed evaluation consists probably of a quick google search and skimming the results.

Hahaha, KS removed my comment and suspended me from posting. Funny stuff

I haven't posted anything in a few weeks, if not months, none of it vulgar or against their policy, but about 6 month ago I got very vulgar on there, so if it took them 6 months to block me for that, than they really need to hire more staff. It is funny that I got blocked but thieves are allowed to go about their business just fine. Is there a way for me to ask them what it was?

Oh hey, apparently I used a vulgar word on my last post which was actually just shy of 2 weeks ago....fair enough, a blocked ability to post, now hopefully Kickstarter will enforce their other rules too.

So KS deleted my post in the comments section but left the same one in the update section.

Here's Kevin giving everyone a RUIZ

Ha! Ok! I am under review at KS for my "NMI not on my Christmas card list" comments, I am reasonably certain I had not used an expletive but certainly attacked his character.
Only one comment has been deleted so I do not feel so bad..
No easy to find postings on policy for this: anyone here know how long this ban lasts?
I even said Dakka is a good example for proper moderating... try to help a guy out...
Reap what you sow I guess.
Funny though, I cannot find NMI comments anywhere now.
How does that man do these things?
He is smarter than I give credit.
Ah well, I will pretend to be posting here on the KS and maybe avoid future moderating.
<edit> ah, the thieves and liars comment got me.
Borrowers without intent of return and stretchers of truth??

N815e reported him. As far as Kickstarter is concerned, comments are totally superfluous - just kill anything that is mildly complained about and continue your day.

I may have said something about his disparaging and insulting remarks and his connection to PB.

Ok, so, I was kidding about a crowdfunding effort to finance an actual lawyer... but then I also wasn't. I guess it won't happen on KS, however.

Who knows the rates for US lawyers ?

well right now we have a FB page for backers to see how many we can get involved and from there we can check with lawyers familiar with such suits and costs, but the more people involved the cheaper it will get.

here we go here is a page for the planning of bringing down PB legally.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/510264239170789/
all backers of RRT are welcome to join, but must adhere to the policies of the group

You know, Kickstarter itself could easily be viewed as a "financial product"- perhaps its time to start filing CFPB Complaints against KS itself?

Because the last thing crowdfunding would want is for those yahoos to get interested, though it might take them off my industries back for a bit.

I've had a few choice comments myself on there and it's got me curious now which one set things off. Couldn't be the links to the various agencies to report these guys

Nope-nope™
... I'm not signing up on FB for this, if you've got some intel that'd be useful for everyone, you're welcome to post it here.

well right now we are doing FB since it will help with coordination and communication in our endeavors, but will try to keep things informed here when I can.

Yeah, I don't do FB, so that won't be happening. But I'd pitch in for that, TBH.

It probably is the link posting. I read their rules, and posting outside links is not allowed. I'm waiting on a response for mine, at which point My response to them will be to investigate this project, as the creator has not followed their rules, ie spam newsletter that hawks non kickstarter related products, not updating the backers, no progress being made, denying requested refunds.....

To bad Kickstarter only caters to project creators, and backers are chumps to them too. I already know that it will not go anywhere.

I'd be curious if announcing that their Kickstarter is launching with the work 98% complete, yet is nowhere close to being finished this long after, means they defrauded Kickstarter when originally submitting the project for approval.

That's news to me.

Genius that he is, NMI probably reported us and got nabbed by them because he can't help but insult people with every post.
He is so used to being able to apply a double standard that he just assumed the rules didn't apply to him there, either.
