On Fraud, among other things (Update)
🕑 Added 2017-12-02 03:34:05 +0000 UTC Good morn!I know we hit the milestone about a week ago, but a portion (usually around 10-20% of pledges) attributed to fraudulent users, likely bots that grab content. The rest that you don't see in the total value are dine & dashers and fees.
We are still close though, and when we do legitimately reach that goal I'll be doing a 'picture of the month' kind of thing for Bronze and above, and the a monthly giveaway for one user - something to look forward to I hope.
1) And the winner is.... STRAWBERRY SUNRISE! Ponyville grudge match it shall be.

Happy my suggestion for Strawberry Sunrise went over so well. My line of thought was "hmm who would Applejack want to wail on, OH WAIT I KNOW!" :P

Ah well, that's good on you for being so hospitable. Hopefully less parasites in the future. x3

No worries, just keep in mind pledges only go through after the first day (or beyond) of the month. Fraud-wise, it's mostly geared towards the bots, Patreon detects them automatically when they attempt to charge at the beginning of the month. You're golden!

I'm always worried about canceling my pledge too soon to some people and think that I was fraud but that problem is mostly fixed if that person gets your pledge instantly instead of start of the next month and I don't think anyone believes that I might be fraud if they only see my name once but still -.-' I'm sorry...

Cheers. Na, it depends on the Creator. I have mine set up for end of month only (pledge in October, but pay on 1st November basically) Paying on-the-spot is an option, but I'm happy with the current set-up, it gives people a chance to see if they want to stay on after a preview. (minus those who do it every single month haha...it does happen, unfortunately)

Thank youuuuuu :'D

It's good, declined pledges always go through, indeed around 3 days time. These bots are marked as fraud (even the accounts are weird) <a href="https://photos.app.goo.gl/V1xwGYDPau3Bs6Ik1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://photos.app.goo.gl/V1xwGYDPau3Bs6Ik1</a>

Sorry to hear. Yeah the gaming of the system is a bit of an issue. It's set up to pay you as soon as someone pledges, right?
frick the haters we milestone now

Let it pass 3 days, usually Patreon charges the rest of those fellas. Hopefully it's just that ;v;
