Future of Tier 3 Benefits
🕑 Added 2025-09-23 11:37:15 +0000 UTCHi! You can expect a longer request post tonight (30-31 Images) of VTuber Silvervale, but for now I'd like to get your thoughts on something.
TLDR at the end.
You might've noticed that Patreon suspended my Page for a day, which was because of the way I did raffles/requests. You're not allowed to leave it to chance/luck (falls under their gambling TOS), so I had to remove that to get my Page back up.
For those who weren't here from the start, my Tier 3 started from being limited to a specific amount of people a month at first, which had a few major flaws. 1. A lot of the time people wouldn't answer a DM from me so I wouldn't get a thing to work on in time. 2. People wouldn't leave the Tier so I wouldn't get new requesters. 3. Even if they left the Tier, the Tier would sometimes still stay full and no one else could join it.
Because this method didn't really work well for me, I switched to first come first serve basis (first to comment on a post I made). This method is still possible, as anything that isn't left to luck is within Patreon's guidelines. The issue with this method though is, and what a lot of people had with it at the time, is that it requires you to have your notification on and be always prepared to get the first comment in. This method can work, but it's kind of stressful for the members.
This leads me to ask you guys for thoughts on how the Tier 3 benefits should be done. I'll leave this open for Tier 1-2s to comment on as well.
Currently my Options Are:
Rework Tier 3 into something different (could be perhaps an extra post or something)
Rework Requests in a way that doesn't leave it to luck (perhaps I leave a comment section open, and the most liked comment idea I will message to get a request. This idea I quite like, because that means it'll be both a liked character/idea by more people, but also be personalised for the requester.)
In this comment section I'd like to hear of any ideas for how you would like requests to be done, or thoughts on the #1 and #2 options. You can also bring up general ideas for benefits that you as a Tier1-2 would like to see to get you join Tier 3, and for Tier 3 what would make you stay/you would like to see.
TLDR: Patreon suspended my Page for a day, because you cannot do Raffles (the way I did requests in Tier 3). I'm looking for ideas for future benefits of Tier 3. Current ideas are outlined above as 1. and 2. Leave below comments for ideas of benefits that you'd like to see in Tier 3. I will likely poll this once I've gathered feedback.

I think a partial solution to look into would be to have more requests with fewer pages, like more one page requests.

I think the problem with voting is that you'll never get anything interesting - it will always be one of a handful of characters and one of a handful of fetishes. I don't participate in voting on most Patreons I subscribe to because it's never really worthwhile, and it's not a particularly good use of money to subscribe to a tier that doesn't really give you a say in anything. I won a request long ago so I don't really get anything out of Tier 3 since I can't win again anyway but I really don't like how voting just means the same things win all the time. I'm not sure of a positive solution though. I did see people say that if a character wins they shouldn't be able to win again though; there's so many Patreons where it's just an endless stream of the same Gacha characters and Samus over and over

I think option 2 is your best bet. As long as there is some kind of cool down/you don't do the same characters you've done recently.

What if you let your tier 3βs answer a poll with options as to what they want? Options could be a character you havenβt done before, a divert from the NTR stuff, or maybe even a few tests with audio?

You can make something like a RPG : You start the first pages of a story (5 pages) then the tier 3 members vote between 3 propositions to determine what will happen. And you build a story with the tier 3 members.
