> So you think Yeah, I do. And yes, to answer your question, I think that page, which is not the first page one would visit for a project, is quite clear. I'm sorry, but KickStarter is clear as clear can be. I'm sorry, but anyone that expects something different is dumb, and I have no sympathy for them at this point. > (one small text box that gives of an ebayish "we're just a middleman" warning) There is a whole section called Risks and challenges on the project's main page. There is a box clearly labeled on the pledge page that says: "Kickstarter does not guarantee projects or investigate a creator's ability to complete their project." Everything talks about "Estimated delivery" dates. Not sure what KickStarter is? At the top of the main page, right next to the name! What is KickStarter? http://www.kickstarter.com/hello?ref=nav http://www.kickstarter.com/hello?ref=nav > other caveats are behind links, which we all know are rarely clicked. I'm sorry, but there is more than enough text explaining what's going on. > From the perspective of the average consumer, KS looks much more like a store/daily deal/discount style website than anything else. No. Only from the perspective of the below-average consumer. I'm normally tolerant of people not understanding things, but at this point, I couldn't care less. If someone is stupid enough to blindly ignore all the clear notices and wording saying exactly what they are doing and saying exactly what is really being promised, it's their own damn fault. I've backed 20 projects and haven't had a bad experience. Things haven't always gone as planned, but I've never had an issue. I'm sorry, but if the someone can't use KickStarter like an adult, maybe it will prevent them from falling for a Nigerian scam they would have inevitably fell for.
