RE: Follow Friday: Respect the Mods

Thank you for mentioning I and @katharsisdrill's Kickstarter, but you've made a mistake, it's not a comic book, it is actually a short novel with illustrations done by @katharaisdrill.

About that guy who got his post rejected, that happened to me around 2 weeks ago. Once every thing was set for the Kickstarter I announced it in a post that we are launching a Kickstarter soon and I used the Theinkwell community. They came and told me they're rejecting it and muting the post, that they only accept stories not posts about stories.

It was painful but I totally understood and thought it was fair. It was my fault for not reading their rules before using their community. But then yesterday I opened the post on hive and saw that muting was actually worse than what I thought it was. Muting made all the links and pictures on the post disappear! With a bracket replacing them like this:

It was really sad, I started feeling like it was harsh to do that to a guy like me who was just excited for his first book. I had also linked the post to the main announcement post not knowing that muting had the post looking like that, looking like I was fake or a scammer or something. Phew!

I kept telling myself that harsh or not, it was still my fault for not reading their rules and that they're not entirely to blame. So I kept mum about it.
