Holding Off On Upfront Payment At Least Until Next Month
🕑 Added 2020-06-11 02:49:46 +0000 UTCOkay. As you all know, I've been dealing with a situation where people make pledges to my Patreon, only to quickly look around at what I have up on this site and cancel their pledges the very same day, among other things. I've seen the same people doing this over and over again. This is a problem I've been looking for a solution, and at present, switching to an upfront payment system seems to be the only option. However, I am reluctant to do so, both because it would be a permanent change and because I don't want for any of you to be negatively impacted.
As such, I've decided to hold off on this at least until after the first of July, once all payments are made. That way, any Patrons that joined this month won't be impacted, and establishing an upfront payment system will only impact new Patrons. Also, this will give me more time to do research and find potential alternatives.
I am sorry about this. I would much rather not go through the trouble, or trouble you with this. But in the time since I made my initial announcement, I've had more people making and canceling pledges in the same day, among other shady practices. I won't name any names, but I am irritated by this practice. I hope you will understand.

Thanks for understanding. I'm especially frustrated, as my biggest repeat offender did it again today.

Also, you couldn't find my alternate Sandra Guts pics? That doesn't make sense, as I did put them in the alternate pics tier as I always do. Heck, I posted a pic over at DA that includes links to them. https://www.deviantart.com/orionpax09/art/Patreon-Exclusive-Sandra-Guts-Special-845039905 But believe me when I say that I am not trying to harass or cause anybody any grief. I'm only trying to find a solution to this problem that works for everybody.

As I've said, I don't want to do this. But I have been dealing with people who make pledges and then cancel on the very same day without paying. That's a real issue that I'm trying to address.

Well, this is the system you're currently running. Normally you pay per picture or what many do monthly. At the end of the month links will go out to everyone who has paid. But if you join in the middle of the month you have to wait until the first of the next month. That means you can only show samples in the middle of the month. Yesterday I also increased my payment because a post from you on DA from Sandra looked like you had drawn her even more bigger. Since the higher tiers also contain alternative pictures I thought I'd find that there. But it didn't and so I went back to my original one. I guess you are lokking for completely different people :D
