Pledges of March and Debtors

As my first experience with Patreon, the Balance of people committed to their pledge was very positive :) I thank you all from the bottom of hearth with a great howl to those who had no problem supporting my work without having to editing their pledge before the collection date. Out of $978 pledges, $928 was really sent (due some people declined their pledge) and $844.80 is what I really got this past month due Patreon's (5%) & Credit Card cuts/fees. And as you can see in a previous post (activity) of me I used it for a new laptop :) So, no. As I haven't got the $1k that is listed in my Patreon face page just yet, probably next month, I hope :) Out of 70 pledges at the end of March, 6 did not pay. Those 6 people got an email from me to check on their situation and only 2 replied to me. Out of the other 4: Two haven't replied and said nothing and the last 2 just closed their account and ran away (probably with all my March's art). Is a bit frustrating, but that is how Patreon works. It's not that I'm concern with every bit of money that I lost, is that I'm concerned how All the people who really support and pay are insulted by some that APPARENTLY just come in to steal Art. This Patron "Reddemon" (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=620705) who pledged Back in March , did ran away before paying anything and today just pledged again to download art I presume and he already removed his/her pledge again in a matter of minutes. (UPDATE: Apparently now he deleted his account too) Not only here, in my Alpha Luna's Patreon too. And Patreon doesn't have any block/ban tool whatsoever. There is a pattern of Art thief written all over this person. Anyway, those who did miss the collection window from Patreon due an error with their card/paypal info, you can always send me your pledge directly to my paypal account: licantro@gmail.com so I don't have to remove you from here tomorrow. Those 4 with the issues should do that. They know who you are because you got a message/email from me days ago. In any case, besides this minor inconveniences I appreciate every bit of support from all of you and this just exceeded my expectatives for this first month. I'm thrilled to keep working hard for all of you! Leo

If I happen to be one of those people who haven't paid his pledges. I will be notified right? I know this is a dumb question but I believe I need to ask it.

Kinda strange how the system doesn't have something in place for this kind of thing, but the good news is I truly believe you have enough genuine supporters that 1 or 2 fools doing this sort of thing will not impact you at all, though that certainly doesn't excuse their actions one bit. Either way, don't stop being awesome, you've got a werewolf army of supporters behind you :)

I'm not a fan of it but there are some who directly email the months art to those who successfully pay and only post previews to their stream. Personally, I see why they do it since it screws over those who pledge and run, but on the other hand it also screws over those who join your patreon earlier since they won't have access to your earlier things (Although some do sell their earlier things as special downloads). I guess it's up to you but I would maybe consider doing it.
