Advertising on the forum

So the rules seem to be that you have to be an established member to advertise music. But I would like to advertise a Kickstarter like page for a video game I'm making, to both inform people about the video game and ask for donations which would be used toward releasing the game. Am I allowed to do so?

I imagine not. You've been posting for less than a week.

I joined 04-03 it says and I imagine I have technically posted at the beginning of that.

But that was part of two questions I had, 1. being am I establised enough, and 2. being is it okay to advertise a video game. But if I can't, oh well.

Give it a few more months.

We have a members showcase thread in terms of music, so in a few months as Loathsome said, you could showcase your video game there. Will you have a demo so people know what they're donating to?

Asking for donations isn't allowed no matter how long you've been here.

And if any mod tells you anything other than that I can only suggest they either didn't read your initial post properly or haven't read the rules recently because the banning of soliciting donations is one of the first rules listed on the forum.

I see no holes in this suggestion.

I appreciate this. To say otherwise would be crueller
