We keep it somewhat vague so we can give some latitude to long time and frequent posters. If you are an active part of this community, and you want to share a kickstarter campaign, I’m OK with it, thought we are going to ask you to post process, and post directly into the forum. If this is someone’s first post, and all it is is a link to a kickstarter and a giant hand out, it is going to be delted quickly.
We like having it all be a part of the projects forum (thought there could be a sub forum) with the hopes of hypothetical situations like someone starts a self directed project, gets a bunch of feedback… and then puts it on kickstarter and posts a link. I think that would be ideal.
