[ITSALLABOUTMEMAN] Re:

Are you Lali? I was hoping you would be a cute Thai girl, like my facebook friend,เสียใจ แต่ไม่แคร์ (see attached photo). I probably have a hundred such friends on Facebook, and wish I could interest them in my campaign, as when I have cute Thai girls on my side, I feel I am unstoppable, you know?

But I accept assistance from any quarter at this point, I'm in quite a bind... I pleased my case with the Kickstarter Authorities, and they've given me 48 hours to fix my campaign, but I don't understand what they don't like about it. I wonder if there are any fiverr gigs from people who can help fix a kickstarter campaign....

This is what the Kickstarter people told me:

Hi there,

This is a message from the Kickstarter Moderation team. After an extended review of your project, we're sorry to inform you that your project does not fall within our rules.

https://www.kickstarter.com/rules

Apologies that this wasn't noticed prior to your launch, but because of this, your project will be suspended within 48 hours of this notice. You can also elect to cancel it yourself. It is recommended that you alert any backers of this situation via direct message or by posting an update.

We know that this isn't ideal for anyone, but we're here to help if you have any questions about this or if you have any other project ideas that you'd like to share. Thank you for your understanding.

Best,
Kickstarter

Dear Kickstarter

Please please please don't do that. I will make any changes necessary for my project to conform to your guidelines. Advise me of what I need to do, I will do it immediately.

This is my the goal of my lifetime. I will do whatever is needed. Anything.

Please, please, please work with me on this. tell me what I need to do and give me a few more hours.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for writing in. All projects on Kickstarter must fall within our rules and one of our 15 categories. They must also have a plan for creating something to share with others. It sounds like your project idea is outside of this scope.

If your project does have a clear creative goal, I'd recommend adding that information to your project description. Engaging rewards are an essential part of any project on Kickstarter, but it's crucial to tell the story of what you're planning to create and why. Here are a few tips to help:

Revisit your project page. Make sure you're using your description to state what you're creating and sharing, why you're doing so and why other people should want to get involved.
Include images and video to support your project idea. Give backers a glimpse of what you're creating.
There are more suggestions in our Creator Handbook.

I hope that this information helps. Please note that if a creative goal is not more clearly defined in your description within the next 48 hours, your project will be suspended.

Thank you for your attention and please let us know if you have any questions about this.

Best,
Katie

Maybe IndieGoGo will be a more congenial home for my campaign if I can't change Kickstarter's alleged mind about this...

Are you also Cristofer Chandrashaker?

You friend,

Matt
