Kickstarter's staff is full of self-embracing hipster narcissists. They don't deserve the success they've had with old school video games. I personally know some of the people involved in these million-dollar campaigns, and Kickstarter has treated them with indifference at best. Real world Karma doesn't come from clicking a DOM element, but real world Karma will be visiting Kickstarter soon. It's already showing in the rise of competitors that would not have stood a chance if a this self-satisfied narcissistic bunch was not in charge of Kickstarter. The trouble with competitors is they don't understand the internal, gamified elements of the backer-base.

- BlackDeath3 13y agoGo back to 4Chan, please. "u mad" contributes nothing to any discussion.
- schenecstasy 13y agoyeah that ad hominem he put up was real valuable.
- BlackDeath3 13y agoYou know what they say about two wrongs... Downvote me all you like. That says more about the state of HN than any one post in particular.
- DanBC 13y agoYou down vote the trolls. You ignore trolls if you do not have enough karma to down vote. Meta conversation should make some kind of attempt at politeness and helpfulness. Referencing other communities often attracts down otes.
- BlackDeath3 13y ago>Referencing other communities often attracts down otes. Why, because we're "Team HN"? That's silly.
- saraid216 13y agoBecause it's counterproductive, pointless, and against the guidelines.
- BlackDeath3 13y ago>counterproductive Unless it encourages someone to change poor behavior. >pointless See above. >against the guidelines Perhaps. Perhaps the guidelines should be rethought.
- DanBC 13y agoYou asked for an explanation of the downvotes. You have been given an explanation of the downvotes. What you chose to do with that information is up to you.
- BlackDeath3 13y agoI thought the explanation was poor, so I chose to explain why. Thanks for the useless comment.
- DanBC 13y agoNo, because we're not team hn. Saying "go back to 4chan" is exactly the kind of team hn behaviour that people don't like.
- BlackDeath3 13y agoIt's not a team thing, it's a "let's keep useless content away from here" sort of thing.
