No problem, i wont post about Kickstarter again.
That's not what I meant; I think it's great that you want to inform others about a new game! However, the way you formulated your opening post may come across to some readers as lingo typically employed in automated, large-scale marketing.
This a discussion forum, so if you'd like to start a new thread here, try to follow the principles of an actual discussion, i.e. there should be at least some kind of personal input, such as your opinions, thoughts, or ideas. Then, as additional information, it's good to add any useful resources like links to project websites, gameplay videos, or even funding campaigns. That way other members feel invited to participate. News stories about games are also welcome because their descriptive format typically offers enough information to encourage a follow-up conversation.
Here are some examples of good opening posts:
http://www.shsforums...oject-eternity/
http://www.shsforums...d-and-its-free/
Do you see the difference between those and your post?
PS: how can this be advertising if i'm not making any money from it? Besides, other sites that discuss RPGs/talk about games have no problems talking about these kind of projects. But dont worry, it wont happen again.
Advertisement doesn't need to be for financial gain; I believe its definition is much broader.
PS 2: Since this cant be done it would be a GREAT idea if a sticky thread with this kind of info was posted in all sub-forums to warn ppl about this rule. This way they wont make the same mistake i did.
That's a good point. I've moved our posts to the pinned introductory topic and I'll take a look at the other subforums.
