When I logged into my account yesterday, I noticed my profile picture was gone—it seemed like I’d been banned. I filed an appeal, and my profile picture was restored. However, all the posts I’d made previously were deleted. I’m not sure if my account has been fully restored. Could you check for me?

We’re a small team preparing to launch our first Kickstarter campaign in mid-September.
We’re building a kitchen-focused phone accessory system: a 360° adjustable magnetic phone stand + a waterproof, oil-resistant wireless controller.
The idea is to let people control common phone functions while cooking without constantly touching the screen with wet, oily, flour-covered, or raw-meat hands.
Our planned early-bird price is $89.
Our biggest problem right now is marketing.
So far:
Our goal is around $50,000.
For people who have launched on Kickstarter before:
Can a campaign realistically reach $50K mainly from Kickstarter’s own traffic, or do you really need a strong audience before launch?
We have about 4–5 weeks left. With a very limited budget, what would you focus on most: email list, Kickstarter followers, creators, Reddit/communities, organic content, PR, or something else?
And if our pre-launch numbers are still weak by September, would you launch anyway or delay?
Would really appreciate any advice from people who’ve done this before.
I don’t know what sort of flowers these are, but they look absolutely beautiful!
