[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 7847810, member: 1"] We've had a number of these recently, and I've discussed it with the moderators. The situation arises when somebody creates an account and pretends to be a curious customer of a Kickstarter, product, or game in order to promote their own product (often in a forum other than the one we set aside for promotional posts). We absolutely do support people who have gaming kickstarters who want to post about them - we have a forum for precisely that, and you can also contact [USER=6808965]@Egg Embry[/USER] and be included in our weekly Kickstarter column. We also talk about Kickstarters on our podcast. We are very much on the side of supporting you and your project. Unfortunately, we have noted that some people use misleading positioning to post as if they are some unrelated party asking questions. Misleading our users is wrong. We will not support products or Kickstarters from producers who mislead us, or our members. We want to support you and your work, but please don't try to trick us. If you are the creator of or are involved with a product or Kickstarter you are promoting, you must disclose that. If we find that you are misleading EN World members in this way, you can expect to find us unwilling to help promote your work in other ways. You can also expect moderator action. Depending on the degree, we might give you chance to change your post, but we might not. We will also make it clear to people what’s going on, so they can best decide for themselves whether to support your project. [/QUOTE]
