A kickstarter project cannot go under funding goal in the last 24 hours if it has already reached its goal. You can back out if you contribution doesn't bring the project below goal. Part of the anti-trolling rules.


People aren't backing out, they are reducing their pledge. Do same anti-trolling measures deal with that?


Also not allowed. From the ToS (https://www.kickstarter.com/terms-of-use):

Backers may increase, decrease, or cancel their pledge at any time during the fundraising campaign, except that they may not cancel or reduce their pledge if the campaign is in its final 24 hours and the cancellation or reduction would drop the campaign below its goal.


That's interesting, did not know that. However, from what I've read it seems you are entitled to a refund on your backing at any time, so even if technically the funding goal is reached the real funds may be a different amount.

What about reducing the contribution?
