Patreon Goal false alarm
Added 2015-11-18 21:44:15 +0000 UTCHey there folks, urgent thing:
Some of you may be getting emails explaining how I've just hit a Patreon goal. I'm afraid it's a false alarm. Something appears to be going weird with Patreon.
About a week ago, Patreon sent round an update to say that they have changed the way the calculated amount is being displayed. Previously, payments that had bounced were still being shown, and the 5% cut from Patreon was not being represented. As a result, the $1,500 total dropped to $1,100 to show the rejected pledges. So the displayed value should more closely match what the creator is actually receiving.
However, some people can still see the old value. I'm not sure why. I'm guessing there's a caching problems. Sorry folks. We're getting close, but we're not there yet :(
Edit - I've no idea why the emails are going out though. That's really weird.
