Unsure of the Future
Added 2015-09-03 03:51:01 +0000 UTCToday I found out that a large chunk of the new patreon people to sign up this month were in fact fake accounts used to troll me, steal art, raise my pledges then decline payment and ultimately screw me over. Fun.
Everyone legit will get the art they are owed. After that I don't know if I'm going to bother with the entire art online business any longer.
Never make a big decision while emotional.. so I'm going to step away and think it over.
For those that were always honest and supportive, thank you.

2015-09-03 11:55:38 +0000 UTCI'm sorry to hear that man. People are like that are just assholes. Maybe you could try something that some other artists do and host the actual art off-site and distribute a password to everyone to access it once their payment is approved.

2015-09-03 08:13:53 +0000 UTCI'm very sorry to hear this. Please don't let the trolls dissuade you; we love your work, and would hate to see you go :)
2015-09-03 05:47:23 +0000 UTCSorry to hear it. It's more effort, but sending reward messages as others have mentioned may help. Or y'know, Patreon could somehow prevent people from trolling via pledge, bleh.

2015-09-03 05:47:00 +0000 UTCThe only thing I can think of is to switch to email for bonuses/most art postings, sent out after pledges are confirmed. It's what most of the people I support have to do now.
