Mislead, Par for Kickstarter

If you read my last post, you'll remember that I promised and update and full review of two Kickstarter projects that I had backed and received rewards for.  Well it's been over a month since that post and not a peep from me.  That's par for the course on Kickstarter.  When you back a project lower your expectations a bit and be prepared for little to no communication.  Deadlines are not hard and fast.  Some project creators are very good about communicating and delivering their rewards.  But since Kickstarter doesn't hold them accountable in a transparent way it can be very difficult for a project backer to obtain a refund, reward, or financial statements when the project does not succeed in deliverables.  I ask those of you that have backed projects through Kickstarter, what are the most unforgivable acts in the eyes of the backers?  I do have reviews of the Apollo Pen, and the Key Stak ready for posting on Tuesday.  I've gotten to use the Apollo Pen for several months now and can appreciate the work it took to create it.  The Key Stak is an entirely different story.  You'll have to wait until Tuesday to read what I have to say about them both.
