Kickstarter takes 5%Back them through the paypal links on their site.
It's a shame.
What % does KS take?
Thankfully they offer paypal as an alternative.
Then don't participate. I don't see how having money excludes you from being allowed to ask for more. The world's biggest donation collector is the Catholic Church. Which just happens to own billions.

Was there anything in your email that could have possibly misconstrued? That's pretty ridiculous.
Luckily I have the message saved in word because Kickstarter doesn't let you pull up messages you've sent to people.
"Susan Wilson, your kickstarter project 9 Year Old Building an RPG to Prove Her Brothers Wrong!" is completely in violation of Kickstarter's ToS and you take it down. Kickstarter has a policy of not accepting Fund My Life projects and this definitely counts as one. Furthermore, you have violated Kickstarter's ToS even further by spam advertising your project.
What angers me the most is that it feels like you're exploiting a hot topic issue. Gender relations in gaming is a controversial issue currently and the language used in your project page reeks of taking advantage of that. It seems like you have completely thrown your sons under the bus by playing up the "mean brothers" image."
Perhaps not the most eloquantly written letter ever written, but nothing too bad I don't think.
Here is the message I got from KS:

Obviously KS didn't think the letter was too bad either or else they wouldn't have made the "Promise to play nice and we'll give your full access back" offer.
Yeah, your letter is fine. I love the line in their message to you " We take our guidelines very seriously". uhhh no, you clearly don't.Luckily I have the message saved in word because Kickstarter doesn't let you pull up messages you've sent to people.

"Susan Wilson, your kickstarter project (...) is completely in violation of Kickstarter's ToS and you take it down.
Very scummy from Kickstarter. "We take our guidelines very seriously".
By the way, according to the Cnet article comments, this indiegogo project is by Susan Wilson's husband. Location: Stevensville, Maryland, United States. Seems like the family has been looking for a project that would take off for a while now. Only tangentially related, but I found it interesting.
Mackenzie Wilson said almost 2 years
Cant wait to go treasure hunting on Kent Island (and Coins Beach in Delaware)!!!! PLEASE MOTHER NATURE, move those treasures to where Im going to find them b/c Im going to prove to those bratty boys that girls rule and boys drool!
Well, I would be ok with kickstarter saying that they will determine whether projects should be taken down or not, and that he should use the report button or whatever.To be fair, that's some unfortunate wording. I'm surprised you didn't end that sentence with a "sis!"
What a bunch of scumbags.Very scummy from Kickstarter. "We take our guidelines very seriously".

Holy shit, she played the gender card with her daughter two years ago:

edit: beaten
Oh my god. Like really? Every article that defended her is going to edit this in right? God tech "journalism" is broken and useless.

So the mom has a Kickstarter to get her daughter into video games, and the dad has an Indiegogo to get his kids off of video games. Brilliant. Amazing.

A blue-collar girl, my name is Susan Wilson.
I'm such a fan of crowdfunding [..]
I want to create a collection of simple, easy-to-understand infographics about the REAL lives of top-ranked women to shed some light on the personal choices and tradeoffs that come with professional success.
I'm really suprised there hasn't been more outcry about the 9 year old playing Borderlands 2 and Dragon Age II. Those are two of the most violent/mature games out there and are not at all suitable for a 9 year old.
OP should add everything they have/had running on Kickstarter and Indiegogo.
I like how all of the Indiegogo projects are on the Flexible Funding plan, meaning they get every cent even if the campaign fails to fully fund.
