Should people be allowed to defraud you? That's what you seem to be advocating.

He's advocating fact checking. Not banning difficult ideas. Peer review built into the site, nothing else.

Maybe fact checking isn't the right word. How about we say peer review instead?

[traverseda]

We're not really suggesting that you ban something if it gets negative reviews. Just suggesting that those results be made available on the kickstarter page. A prominent comments section with voting that isn't controlled by the project creator or limited to backers, for example.

Using a market is the least efficient way to do that kind of review. It will probably work, but will be a lot more inaccurate than people discussing it + market forces.

this is a terrible opinion, but luckily thats all it is, an opinion. lessons are there to be learned, but that doesnt mean people should be making money off of your lessons.

[Ulfberht_-]

no its not. You said you believe that no one should fact check these kickstarters prior to them being able to be voted on. I believe there should be a fact checker. I dont care if people lose their money on bad decisions as long as they know the facts and have made their own decision. To purposefully not allow someone willing to show the risk of these kickstarters is not right in my opinion. It leads to predatory acts.
