Wired Magazine’s Nathan Hurst highlights some projects that were rejected by Kickstarter and their subsequent success. Why it happens:
Kickstarter is intentionally vague when rejecting projects and responding to appeals. For legal and privacy reasons, they don’t comment on their moderators’ activity, says spokesperson Justin Kazmark.
“This isn’t a judgment on the quality of this product, just a reflection of our focus,” the letter to Lumawake read.
But Kickstarter won’t offer much more than that and the original guidelines. So would-be project creators are left to wonder which of Kickstarter’s terms of use they violated.
