Requesting a special forum for kickstarter announcements

[Red Leaf Games]

Is there, or can we have, a special forum just for kickstarter announcements? I swung by looking to spread the word about our recently launched kickstarter but there's a ten post minimum before you can attach a link.

There's a General Crowdfunding Thread for this sort of thing, however, the minimum-post rule is still in effect there. That rule was instated as part of a spam-prevention measure, so it is unlikely an exception would be made- any spam that is "deflected" by the rule would end up in the excepted area.

Also, the general thought process for new subforums isn't "Let's make one for this subject that gets lost in the rest of the stuff", because that simply means it's not popular enough for its own forum, but more like "Let's make one for this subject that is so large it drowns out everything else". And even that is a last-last resort.

Also, the forum has restrictions on publishers/authors advertising their own products. Making a whole forum just for that seems counterproductive.
