Changing Payment Guidelines
Added 2018-10-09 10:50:15 +0000 UTCHello bois and grils!
I want to ask you guys a small favor with this poll, I have been planning to change my patreon pay method from the current method that you, my newest patrons pay at the end of the month to paying upfront to see my content.
The reason for this is because I have noticed that I get a surge of patrons on specific intervals then they decrease upon the day patrons are being charged. The reason? It's either to just browse my works repeatedly and some have reported to me that my patreon exclusive artworks are being uploaded without my consent in different image sharing sites.
It's hard enough that people take advantage of the current payment method but its worse when people steal and upload them without consent. The only website that I share my patreon artworks is in pixiv and nowhere else.
So here I am asking my loyal patrons on their opinion with my plan on changing the payment method. Patreon is one of my sources of income to get me by in life and I do some hard time managing in giving time to work on my patreon artworks (that you bois and grils have voted weekly) while also working on my commissions from deviantart which is also one of my only sources of income these days.
I can confidently say that I have been good and faithful to all of you by posting quality (LEEEEWWDDD) artworks for you to enjoy so please, I ask you guys once again on your opinion regarding this.
Your opinion matters most and I want to see what you all think on my plan.
For more info on the change I am suggesting please take your time reading this: https://patreon.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/210291283
Thank you for taking the time to listen bois and grils! Expect more artworks from me soon!

2018-10-10 01:03:55 +0000 UTCWhy not charge up front unless you switch to sending all the hi-res work by messaging those that paid when payment was received.

2018-10-09 17:07:54 +0000 UTCDo it. I have seen your works posted on several hentai websites, thus I knew other people are posting them without your permission. Patreon is not doing you or other artists any favors with the 'end of the month' payment method, given, as many noticed, that people sign up just to get your works and then get off before the end of the month to avoid paying. If you switch to the 'upfront' payment method, it will prevent some from stealing.

2018-10-09 11:10:51 +0000 UTCI've never paid attention to this and I'm surprised this isn't the default tbh, it's the only way the system makes sense.
2018-10-09 11:01:28 +0000 UTCI agree, as a fellow patreon artist. I think it would be fair if we do get paid properly on our work rather than people just browsing and stealing repeatedly, taking advantage of the current payment method. :D
2018-10-09 11:00:18 +0000 UTCFor me, it's best to charge the new patrons upfront because of the stealing or leaks (whatever you call it). It's outright dickish to pledge just for the sake of repeatedly browsing and unpledging to avoid payment on the charging day, it's even more insulting when patrons browse and unpledge while stealing the artworks and posting them on other sites without approval.

2018-10-09 10:55:21 +0000 UTCI think its a good idea, especially with the way you post rewards (one per week + past rewards beeing visible ).
