Comission Tiers and other Changes
🕑 Added 2020-09-15 21:06:45 +0000 UTCI'm planning to add some commission tiers here. I haven't exactly decided which items to offer, but they might be limited to a few options at first, and only a few slots.
BUT, one thing to bring up before that is that I'll have to adjust the Patreon first to have people pay upfront. I don't know exactly how that'll impact everyone. I'm assuming that Patreon has some smart way of managing it?
I also need to change the splash image to something more universal than just Pulse comics, maybe with some pinups of different characters too?
I had planned to make the Patreon both SFW and NSFW (which would allow some old comics and Materia Enhanced to be posted here), but some other creators on Twitter kinda scared me out of it. They had their Patreon accounts shut down, sometimes over trivial or vague things. I had already set the Patreon to NSFW, and apparently it's easy to turn on and hard to turn off. I'm not really sure what counts as NSFW or not on the current internet. The last few years on some comic sites, they've forced Pulse to be listed as NSFW or even adult (I even had a page they forced me to censor). Even if I asked Patreon for a review if I could turn off NSFW, I don't know if they'd tell me the stuff here I think could be SFW is actually too spicy.
I think on the current internet, there's often only two content ratings- either kid-friendly or not. And where NSFW used to mean something at least with nudity, now it means something for teens and up. There really needs to be more than two ratings to judge things.
I'm not closing the door on there being slightly higher rated stuff on here, but I thought I'd pause my plans for that and see what happens with other creators first.

commission tier.. *heavy breathing*

If I had to field a guess, it's that none of them actually post any NSFW content on Patreon itself, any downloads or rewards are given out via Dropbox and other services, which seems to work. I think that's what Pseudonym does too. So there's definitely a way to do it without getting in trouble.

Hm. I don't know exactly what the line is, but I know I support "I Roved Out," InCase's "Alfie" comic and OGLAF on Patreon, and all of those comics are just blisteringly NSFW, so there obviously a way to do it without offending the powers-that-be.
